TopView™  Simulation

•Microsoft Windows based simulation and modeling system for system engineering insight across business process and systems architectures.

 

•Highly interactive development environment for creation, modification, and presentation of business and system architecture simulations.

 

–Graphical editor to quickly construct and modify simulation  conduct experiments of alternative architectures and analyze the results. 

 

–Analysis tools embedded in TopView ™, also integrated with MS Access for database support, MS Project for timeline analysis and MS Excel for ad hoc analysis

TopView™

 

TopView™ is based on the Extend™ modeling and simulation from Imagine That, Inc. Extend is graphical development tool for process engineering.  TopView™ is an extension of Extend™ that provides us additional capabilities to support our simulation and analysis methodology.

 

We use TopView to simulate different  hardware and software architectures to support system engineering trade studies.   The combination of TopView™  and Extend™  provides us with a rapid prototyping capabilitiy that lets us develop complex architecture interactions and dynamic events that can effect the performance and cost of an architecture.  Using the simulation we can explore "what-if" alternatives of large complex architectures that would not be feasible to construct the actual architecture to conduct experiments.  Once the trade off analysis is complete the selected set of architectures can be examined with full scale experiments.

Value to You:

  • •Determine expected system behavior and performance before actually building the system

     

  • •Develop an understanding of why the system performs the way it does, and what might be done to make it perform better

     

  • •Locate impediments to system performance – such as buffers and queues that backup, time consuming processes; throughput degraded by slow processors or insufficient communications bandwidth

     

  • •Identify candidate processes for automation

     

  • •Investigate impact of system modifications

     

  • •Examine impact of rearranging the sequence in which processes are performed

     

  • •Estimate system resource requirements – human, machine, and material – and the impact alternative resource levels

     

  • •Determine impact on system performance of varying degrees of system reliability
