Data Graphics

Process Simulator utilizes the powerful capability of Data Graphics and External Data linking in Microsoft Visio 2007 Professional and 2010 Professional and Premium. When linked to simulated scenario results, Data Graphics provide a more visually interactive means to model analysis and optimization. Resource utilization, activity bottlenecks, entity cost and throughput are all examples of the types of data that can be displayed on shapes using Data Graphics in Process Simulator. Seeing these results directly on their associated shapes enables you to quickly determine what is happening in your model and where modifications could be made.

Process Simulator makes it simple for you by automatically creating the external data links to your simulated output results. It then automatically associates that data with the respective shapes in the diagram. Applying Data Graphics to the shapes is all you have to do. Process Simulator has several predefined Data Graphics that can be used or you can create and customize your own.
