BlockSim 8 Quick Start Guide Chapter 6.0: Simulation Diagrams

In contrast to analytical diagrams, simulation diagrams can take into account repair and restoration actions, including behaviors of crews, spare part pools, throughput, etc. These actions mean that the age of system components is no longer uniform, nor is the operation time of the system continuous. If one includes information on the repair and maintenance characteristics of the components and resources available in the system, other information can also be analyzed/obtained, such as system availability, throughput, spare parts utilization, life cycle costs etc. This can be accomplished through discrete event simulation.
