How to use the turner
The turner is a component usable for visualization purposes when running a simulation. It gives the user a possibility to rotate or translate products. Note: It does not change the origin of the component, only creating an offset. This means t...
Simulation components (Feeder, Changer & InitializationPoint)
This article describes the simulation components Feeder, Changer and  InitializationPoint  focusing  on some simple examples. The User documentation (manual) is also covering this area.  These three components can be used to get  a wide range o...
Use distributions for the feeder
It is possible to distribute products from the Feeder using probability distributions.  If Feeding Interval is set to Distribution  a number of different options are displayed.  In the parameter Distribution it is possible to choose b...
