Melbourne Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) is building a new hospital, and needs to migrate between 150 to 200 young patients from the old 8-floor building to the new one, with wards on 6 floors. The hospital management determined that they had an 8-10 hour window for the patient migration, and decided to simulate the patient [...]

The links below are a collection of Flexsim models relating to the mining industry. Mining Concepts Mine_Animation_and_Logic.zip is a small model that addresses various modelling concepts required on a mine face. The premise of the model is over simplified but it teases out some relevant concepts. Coal is half way between a fluid and discrete [...]

The long awaited Flexsim text book has been released. Dr Mal Beaverstock (Flexsim) & Prof. Alen Greenwood (Mississippi State Uni) have produced a structured, easy to read text book with plenty of modelling examples. Indicative price is $100 USD +Postage – The online ordering only caters for US & Canada, but we can get the [...]

Open pit mining is a complex logistical problem of moving different types of material from multiple points of origin (Load Zones) to multiple destinations (Dump Zones). Simulation was used to determine an open-cast mines production capability, taking into account the speed, capacity and maintenance requirements of each truck.

The eagerly awaited Flexsim 5.0, has just been released. The new version offers better graphics hardware compatibility, an animation editor, an undo function (eventually), and new licencing system. Contact us to arrange a demo or get a download to try it yourself.

Latest version of Flexsim Healthcare 3D simulation software released.

TMN Simulation will be exhibiting at the Simulation Industry Association of Australia (SIAA) Health Conference and exhibition in Melbourne on 8-10 September. We will be showing Flexsim’s new 3D Healthcare Simulation application. If you can’t make it to the conference, contact Kenny Macleod on 03 9005 7234 or kenny@tmn.com.au for a preview of the software.

Exhibiting at the Health Informatics Conference in Canberra reinforces our belief of the great potential for simulation in healthcare; but also that there’s a lot of work to do to inform this market.

Hot News!! Flexsim have released their Healthcare Simulator. This is specifically built for healthcare simulation and allows rapid development of the front-end of a healthcare establishment. Triage, waiting rooms, operating theatres, scanners, receptions,… are added to the model by simply dragging an icon. Once on the model, each object has a series of adjustable parameters [...]
