Simulation Edition
The Simulation edition is used during the early design as a front-end analysis
tool. During later development and operational phases it is used as a Logistic Support
Analysis, validation and system management tool.
The RamLog Simulation Edition includes a simulation capability. It can
be used as a standalone application or in conjunction with the Information Management
and Failure Data Editions. The user has the ability to add and manipulate
the system data required for simulation, in the common database. It provides a flexible,
easy-to-use modelling interface and is based on a object-based Monte Carlo Simulation
Engine.
The Simulation Edition provides the user with the ability to create and
"Run" various Arena simulation models. An Arena model, (or a Theater of Operation),
defines the operational and support environments. Any number of systems and
also different system types, can be deployed and simulated for a predefined time
period. The Simulation Edition consist of:
Libraries: to define common data elements between the systems (Suppliers,
Items & Support Equipment and Personnel).
Physical Breakdown Structure (PBS): to define the physical breakdown of
the system.
Failure Analysis: providing a Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis
(FMECA) capability.
Task Identification and Task Network: to identify and specify the task
sequence for a specific failure mode.
Reliability Block Diagram and Fault Tree Analysis (RBD/FTA Models): to
define equipment redundancies and failure critical paths. Event Planner: to schedule
pre-planned events.
Operational Model (OPM): to define the operation scenario, life and/or
mission profile for systems.
Deploy and Support Model (DSM): to define the deployment and support scenario
for systems.
Animation Model: to define the outputs and animation requirement for the
simulation.
Replication Viewer: to provide the results for each replication (Simulation
Run).
Licensing: The Simulation Edition is a multi user application
where an administrator has the ability to assign users, user groups, user roles
and privileges. The license is installed as a bundled license on a server with a
limited number of concurrent users. However, the users have the ability to create,
develop and run their own simulation model.
Simulation Runtime License: A runtime license is also available
and can be used for demonstration purposes. Models cannot be created, modified or
saved with the Runtime license.
Evaluation License: An Evaluation License is also available
at no cost. It includes all functionality but is limited to small demonstration
projects and it runs on a Microsoft SQL Express database.
