FlexSim


So I'm doing a presentation on FlexSim, and I thought I'd share. FlexSim is a simulation software that creates 3d models in a real 3d environment that allows anyone to input a system, ranging from manufacturing to hospital admissions. The user can that figure out where backups or other problems occur, or they could test a new set up without ever having to change the actual system. In manufacturing this can save a lot of time and money when trying to figure out why your widgets aren't being sent through the assembly line fast enough or what would happen if you switched step 5 and 7 around.

What I think is really cool is that you can import your own 3d creations from other programs into FlexSim and put them into the simulation as functioning objects
