FlexSim Basics Tutorial

This tutorial is designed to teach you the basics of building a simulation model in FlexSim. You'll create a simulation of a customer service center with the goal of making the service center run more efficiently.

In this tutorial, you'll experiment with two different methods of model building that are available in FlexSim: 3D modeling and Process Flow modeling. In the last stage of this tutorial, you'll merge these two types of models together to make an even more powerful simulation model that combines the best aspects of both methods.

When you're finished with this tutorial, you'll have a good general sense of how FlexSim works and the basic tasks involved in building a simulation model. When you're finished, your 3D model will look similar to the following image:
