Course on Flexsim, learn to simulate easily.
download and install Flexsim.
We will initially see how to download flexsim to our computers and then how to install it in the correct way, in order to carry out our projects.
Introduction to the flexsim menu.
With Flexsim installed on our computers, we will go on to the part where we will analyze the navigation menu, identifying the most important ones in the toolbar and in this way becoming familiar with Flexsim.
CONFIGURING FIXED OBJECTS: source, queue and processor
We will see step by step how to configure the fixed objects of a model in flexsim, making the simulation of a simple production line, where we will use: source, queue and processor.
Load plans from autocad or .png images
Now we will see how to load Autocad files (.dwg), also images with format (.png) to Flexsim to be able to have the layout of our model and on which to locate each object that we want to show, thus giving a more real model.
Load 3d objects to flexsim from archive3.
In this video we will see how to download 3d objects from archive3d and how to load them to a model in Flexsim to make more real models, we will also see how to configure them. to adapt them to the model.
Download 3d objects from sketchup to flexsim
In this video we will see how to download 3d objects from sketchup and how to load them to a model in Flexsim to make more real models, we will also see how to configure them. to adapt them to the model.
liquid to solid.
In this video we are going to see how fluids become solids or also known as fluid a flow to item (discrete objects), in this case we simulate as if we had a tank with water and we want the final product to be a block of ice, too It shows how to configure the output of the product from a processor to the waits, delivering a certain percentage to each wait.
additional you can download the model in the next tab (here)
USE combiner and separator and how to configure them.
In this video we will see how to use and configure the flexsim combiner and separator, the combiner allows us to pack, merge and batches, taking into account that to be fed we must have two inputs. and in the separator we have two modes that are: unpack and divide, taking into account that to unpack we require two outputs so that we can run the model and for the division we only require a single output.
PROGRAM FAILURES OR STOPS IN A MODEL.
In this video shows how to show process failures in a more technical way, making the simulations as real as possible, each of the failure components is indicated step by step and breaks down in the properties of the object, in the For example, we see a processor that shows failure at 60 minutes, and then a repair time of 10 minutes and showing cumulative stops every 60 minutes.
STATISTICAL DATA (DASHBOARD).
By using the dashboard we can present or display statistical data, which are used to make comparisons and make decisions in the models, thus giving the most viable option, we can also identify bottlenecks, among others.
Identify and eliminate BOTTLE CELLS.
We will see how to identify a bottleneck visually, then we will see it from the graphical form with diagrams, and finally we will solve it in the simplest way, to finally verify that the bottleneck has been eliminated and the model will work in a way more efficient.
How to use the Experfit tool.
In the video we will see how to use experfit starting from some data that I have as an example, then I will pass them to a notepad and later I will open the experfit option in flexsim (the flexsim express version does not have it enabled) and I will show the steps for us generate the most recommended distribution table for the data we have and finally load the result to the processing time of an object.
How to Create and Use Simple Global Tables in a Flexsim Model
In this video we will see how the global tables are created and how to apply them to the model by creating labels, in the video you will see the most basic things for creating the tables
configure rest schedules, shifts for operators in Flexsim
In this video we will see how to program shifts or rest times for operators in a simple Flexsim model, with the help of the time table, step by step, applicable for any version of flexsim.
How to prevent operators from stepping over machines using A * navigator
we will see how to prevent the operators from going over the machines or that it seems as if it were merged with it, we will see how A * navigator is used to improve the model so that it looks more professional when presenting the simulation
Rubber manufacturing process.
To simulate this process, a scientific investigation is used where there is real data from the process diagram and the time it takes to make the product, thus seeking to make the simulation as real as possible. link to download pdf. to download the model press ( here)
candle making process.
Through the use of Flexsim software, which serves to simulate industrial processes, among others, a model of a layout of the candle manufacturing process is simulated. This software allows us to simulate processes in which we can make decisions to improve production flow, identify bottlenecks, even to define the viability of future projects. to download the model press ( here)
