Modeling the Material Flow
Modeling in 2D introduces you to the most important tasks you will face when you create your simulation model in Plant Simulation 2D. If you start a new simulation project from scratch, and at one point in time or another, you might also have to create a corresponding 3D model at the same time or in the future, you have to keep a number of criteria in mind to facilitate this.
If you want to use display panels for example, you have to create a 2D Only model. This is described in detail under Selecting Settings in Plant Simulation.
We renamed the following objects in Plant Simulation 14.1 and 14.2:
Up to Version 14.0 | From Version 14.1 on |
|---|---|
Assembly | AssemblyStation |
Line | Conveyor |
ParallelProc | ParallelStation |
SingleProc | Station |
Entity | Part |
Up to Version 14.1 | From Version 14.2 on |
|---|---|
TableFile | DataTable |
CardFile | DataList |
StackFile | DataStack |
QueueFile | DataQueue |
As we created some of the models for the Online Help in previous versions, some of the screenshots still show the previous names of the objects.
