[Users] SimFactory!

[Shankar, Ramraj]

Hello,

I would like to know the actual applications of SimFactory. I am not very sure of it range of applications. Is it possible to use for material flow simulation in factory like FlexSim, Simul8?

Regards,
S.Ramraj.

Hello S.Ramraj,

that is likely not possible out of the box. Simfactory itself is just a
tool to orchestrate simulations using the Cactus computational
framework.

Cactus itself is a generic framework aiming to simplify solving
hyperbolic partial differential equations using (mostly) finite
difference methods.

Its main (almost exclusive) client code is the Einstein Toolkit which
provides codes and other utilities to simulate astrophysical events,
for example colliding black holes, neutron stars, supernova,
cosmology etc.

There are some users of Cactus that have used it for other simulations
eg. David Rideout for Causal Set Quantum Gravity
(http://cactuscode.org/about/team/drideout) and there is a project to
use it to simulate the shallow water equation for Hurrican flood
predictions.

I am not aware myself (though that does not mean it does not exist) of
an actual discrete event simulation.

I would suggest sending an email explaining about the system you would
like to simulate to either users at einsteintoolkit.org or
users at cactuscode.org to see if there is anyone who can provide insight.

Yours,
Roland
