I taught a one-on-one ExtendSim class where a student asked about ONLINE resources a new modeler should be aware of. Great question. It was an interesting discussion I want to share.

Animation is an important feature of a simulation model. And it’s a great way to introduce a model to someone who has never seen a simulation before. Well-thought-out model animation can grab someone’s attention like nothing else and can help that person see how a system works. I have found that many new modelers believe the primary purpose of animation is to serve as eye candy once the model has been developed. However, animation should play a much bigger role than just being a selling point of the model.

I worked on a simulation study last year with Dr. Holt (University of Washington) and Dr. Srinivasan (University of Tennessee). The results of the study surprised me. It made me start thinking differently about variation and its effect on systems. It might change the way you look at bottlenecks in a resource-constrained system as well.
