Simulate Main Model with Submodel

If we now return to our main model, we can choose 100 replications from the Simulation Properties dialog, and then click the Run button to simulate the main model with its associated submodel.

 

During simulation, the layout will now show the main model as well as the submodel.  As entities are routed to the Op 30 Install PCS activity, you will see them enter the submodel for processing.

Simulation Results

Since we have entered more detail about the subprocesses that occur at the Op 30 Install PCS activity we should now expect different results.

 

As you compare the output between the 100 replications that did not use the submodel with the 100 that did, you may find interesting differences. For example, there was a decrease in throughput to 204.79.
