SIMLOX Overview

SIMLOX is an event driven simulation tool that enables detailed analyses of how technical system's performance vary over time given different operational and logistics support scenarios. Based on availability of maintenance resources, maintenance strategy and the operational profile, SIMLOX makes it possible to get very realistic simulations of systems operational efficiency. This includes identification of bottle necks and other factors having a negative impact on efficiency.

A central functionality in SIMLOX is the ability to illustrate how the outcome varies over time, taking into account changing operational demands as well as changing resource availability and transport schedules. It is primarily in this context SIMLOX can be seen as a complement to OPUS10. These two software tools are closely related and uses the same input data to a high degree

The following areas are examples where SIMLOX add functionality in comparison with OPUS10

  • Different mission profiles with variable utilization
  • Mission prioritization
  • Mission controlled generation of failures/damages
  • Maintenance resource and constraints
  • Preventive maintenance
  • Mission damage
  • Cannibalization/robbing
  • Non-critical and critical failures
  • Deferred maintenance and repair
  • Lateral or flexible support
  • System variants
  • Batched transport
  • Transfer of systems, items and resources
