Job shop simulation with salabim in Python

Following my recent article on job shop simulation in Python with SimPy I was asked to also publish an example covering salabim in Python. SimPy and salabim have similar syntax, with some differences. Both are used for discrete-event simulation (DES)…

Visualizing SimPy job shop simulation

I am following up on my recent simplified job shop simulation example in SimPy. Today I want to show you how you can collect simulation data in a SimPy simulation model. I will use the data for data visualization. As…

Job shop simulation in SimPy

Today another technical post with a quick introduction to job shop simulation in SimPy – another discrete-event simulation model development option in Python. This package is among my favorite simulation tools. You can see some examples that I built with…

Retail supply chain ABM in Python

In this article I post a simple distribution supply chain agent-based model in Python. Agent-based modelling (abbreviated to ABM) was already introduced by me in various other blog posts. Here are some introductionary references that will get you started. I…

Drawing a factory AutoCAD layout in Python

I have established an extensive VBA and Python documentation covering AutoCAD automatization. In this article I demonstrate some of this in Python, using pyautocad and win32com. I do so by creating a factory layout drawing in AutoCAD. It is a…
