By McPhail, Elizabeth M.
Publication: Modern Machine Shop
Date: Friday, December 1 2000

The company has released a student version of AutoMod, its flagship simulation software tool, along with accompanying text, "Getting Started with AutoMod."

AutoMod combines CAD-like drawing capabilities with a flexible simulation language to create realistic simulation models of manufacturing facilities, material handling systems and warehouse and distribution centers. The AutoMod student version software has all of the design capabilities and controls of the full version, though it limits the number of simulation entities that can be defined (for example, queues, reso
