Arena Simulation 16.1 | Discrete Event Simulation & Process Modeling Software

Arena Simulation 16.1 is a powerful, flexible simulation platform for modeling, analyzing, and optimizing complex business processes and dynamic systems. It enables analysts and engineers to create digital twins of real-world processes to evaluate performance, identify bottlenecks, and test improvement scenarios across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and service industries.

Core Functionality Overview:

  • Drag-and-Drop Process Modeling: Intuitive graphical interface with a library of pre-built modeling constructs (modules, flowcharts) for rapidly building detailed simulation models without programming.

  • Statistical Analysis & Scenario Comparison: Includes robust statistical tools for input data analysis and output analysis, allowing users to run multiple scenarios (what-if analyses) and compare key performance indicators (KPIs) like throughput, cycle time, and resource utilization.

  • Animation & Visualization: Features dynamic 2D/3D animation and dashboards to visualize system flow, queue buildup, and resource states, making model behavior and results easy to understand and communicate.
