A discrete-event simulation (DES) models the operation of a system as a sequence of events in time. Each event occurs at a particular instant in time and marks a change of state in the system. [ 1 ] Between consecutive events, no change in the system is assumed to occur; thus the simulation time can directly jump to the occurrence time of the ...
As continuous simulation cannot be modeled by digital computers, it is done by taking small discrete steps. This is a useful feature, since there are many cases where both, continuous and discrete simulation, have to be combined. This is called hybrid simulation, [8] which is needed in many industries, for example, the food industry. [3]
Hybrid simulation (or combined simulation) corresponds to a mix between continuous and discrete event simulation and results in integrating numerically the differential equations between two sequential events to reduce the number of discontinuities. [10] A stand-alone simulation is a simulation running on a single workstation by itself.
A discrete event simulation software with a drag-and-drop interface for modeling simulations in 3D. January 21, 2022 [6] GoldSim: GoldSim Technology Group LLC Combines system dynamics with aspects of discrete event simulation, embedded in a Monte Carlo framework.

The Process Modeling Library is designed to support DE simulation in Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Logistics and Healthcare areas. Using the Process Modeling Library objects you can model real-world systems in terms of entities (transactions, customers, products, parts, vehicles, etc.), processes (sequences of operations typically involving ...
ExtendSim is a simulation program for modeling discrete event, continuous, agent-based, discrete rate, and mixed-mode processes.There are three main ExtendSim simulation model building packages: CP for modeling continuous processes; DE which adds discrete event technology; and Pro which adds discrete rate and reliability block diagramming modules.
DEVS, abbreviating Discrete Event System Specification, is a modular and hierarchical formalism for modeling and analyzing general systems that can be discrete event systems which might be described by state transition tables, and continuous state systems which might be described by differential equations, and hybrid continuous state and discrete event systems.
It pertains to the activity-based paradigm of system modeling, as opposed to process-oriented or event-based paradigms. The activity-based modeling is a natural way to represent the knowledge about a system in the activity paradigm of discrete event simulation.
