It also supports importing Microsoft Visio flowcharts, as well as reading from or sending output to Excel spreadsheets and Access databases. It includes Visual Basic for Applications so models can be further automated if specific algorithms are needed. Statistical data, such as cycle time and WIP (work in process) levels, can be recorded and made output as reports.Īrena can be integrated with Microsoft technologies. While modules have specific actions relative to entities, flow, and timing, the precise representation of each module and entity relative to real-life objects is subject to the modeler. Connector lines are used to join these modules together and to specify the flow of entities.
In Arena, the user builds an experiment model by placing modules (boxes of different shapes) that represent processes or logic.
It has been suggested that Arena may join other Rockwell software packages under the "FactoryTalk" brand. It uses the SIMAN processor and simulation language. Arena is a discrete event simulation and automation software developed by Systems Modeling and acquired by Rockwell Automation in 2000.
