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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Flexsim Version 4.52 is available to everyone who purchased Flexsim within the past 12 months or whose maintenance is active. As you’ve probably noticed, Flexsim’s development over the past two years has been, in a word, “aggressive.” With the latest upgrade, we will moderate our release schedule to where you will see releases every six [...]

SUMMARY Flexsim Software Products recently assisted a major food manufacturer with a simulation study of their cream cheese manufacturing process. The manufacturer provided Flexsim with detailed descriptions and data of the process as well as a tour of the facility. Flexsim built the simulation model and provided training on how to use, maintain and update [...]

Introduction An engineering company needed to more fully understand the workings of a bicycle factory system. Flexsim created a simulation model for them of an imaginary bicycle factory, Swoosh, which works very similarly to existing factories. The Problem The system has many potential bottleneck points where excess parts can queue up.There are many machines that [...]
