ARENA Simulation is the most used tool for simulation of discrete-event systems (please see: ARENA Comparison Statement).
It is an integrated graphical simulation environment including resources for modelling, design, process visualization, statistical analysis.
With simulation you create real systems' virtual copies to dynamically analyze their behaviours, testing management criteria, assessing mission-critical circumstances, comparing design choices as well as concurrent projects and their investment returns.
ARENA from Rockwell is sought as the most innovative simulation software from experts and practitioners. ARENA blends simulation language resources to make its use easy within a integrated graphic environment.
Arena relies on SIMAN, a powerful language avoiding to write codes’ lines as modelling is an integrated graphical and visual process.

Usage models
With ARENA Simulation, simulation is within everybody’s reach
- information and materials flows visualization (e.g., flow chart implementation/drag-and-drop flow-charting)
- animated flows simulation and dynamic analysis of system parts interactions (e.g., configuration parameters resetting)
- immediate and easy access to reports for compelling comparisons of statistics and performances.
ARENA simulation is a powerful tool to perform business process analysis (e.g., buying orders processing, shipments) supporting the optimal allocation and scheduling of resources while attaining real performance improvements (e.g., costs, quality, service levels, speed).
Functionalities include:
- "as-is" business process mapping and
analysis
- "what-if" and comparative "to-be"
scenarios analysis
- bottlenecks revelation, processes' costs
and execution time range quantification
- advanced settings (e.g., inclusion/exclusion of selected tasks, resources, business rules, decision frameworks, costs, other assumptions).
Main features and add-on components
- object libraries and modeling tools empower users to draw out, analyse, visualize and influence the modelled process behaviour
- native integration with Visio, Excel and Access
- internet publishing
- activity-based costing
- complete reporting system
- simple and intuitive MS Office compatible GUI
- hierarchical process modelling
- synthetic and detailed reports including e.g., processes, entities, resources, queues
- ability to export 3D simulation and animation
- ARENA's built models are capable to integrate with other systems
- customization via Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Crystal Reports Designer.
