Release 4.4

Now includes Java SE 5 bringing improvements in performance and memory management.

"Open Recent" menu on the File menu provides cleaner access to the list of recently opened SIMPROCESS models.

New Metamodel Editor allows creation of Metamodels, which can then be assigned to SIMPROCESS models to support adding user defined Metadata. See Metadata Manual for details.

New Expression Language statements added to make SIMPROCESS even more powerful. New statements include

• ABS
• CreateEntityType
• SetEntityExpression
• SetEntityTypeExpression
• AttributeCreateAttribute
• SetActivityExpression
• BINARYTOINT
• INTTOBINARY

GenerateEntity Expression Language statement now supports an optional time parameter to indicate when Entity generation should occur.

New "Continental USA" map is included with the built in images provided and a "Preview button" allows you to see a full sized view of the image before using it in a model.

New ExpertFit newer release (Windows installations only) is included.

ExpressionDemos directory is now included when installing SIMPROCESS.

New TimeServer SIMPROCESS now supports external management of simulation time making it possible for multiple SIMPROCESS models to coordinate their actions.

Release 4.3

• SIMPROCESS Interface - has a fresh new look! This includes a new look for activity icons as well as the toolbar.
  
     

• Model Fit™ Automated Distribution Fitting - provides for on-the-fly distribution fitting of data sources. Curve fitting can be invoked and the distribution implemented mid-execution. More... * Requires separate license
   
• Export for Workpoint - ACI Worldwide BPM Suite Workpoint creates an XML file that can be used to create a WorkPoint archive file. The archive file can be imported into WorkPoint to produce a WorkPoint process.
   
• Export to Dot - Export of hierarchical models in SIMPROCESS to Dot graphs provides a way of producing flat models for printing and review for users preferring to have a large single process flow model without the hierarchies.
   
• Expanded Resource Scheduling - Downtime schedules now include new option for determining when downtime commences. Additionally, New Weekly Resource downtime schedule allows resource downtime to be set during specified times on selected days of the week.
   
• Expanded Entity Generation - New Weekly Entity generation schedule allows entities to be generated during specified times on selected days of the week.
   
• Expanded Expression Language - Supports Hashmap data structures and the configuration of Resources at simulation runtime.
