Automation Process
Composer
enables
you to build a process that can automate your simulations and manage data.
This
app is suitable for methods developers (that is, simulation experts) automating simulations or
capturing best simulation practices in an automated process.
Adapters make up the steps of a
simulation process.
Flow
adapters (such as the Loop adapter) drive the process. Utility and application adapters (such
as OS Command, Calculator, and Excel) perform a specific function or invoke an application
that is external to Automation Process
Composer.
Automation Process
Composer is a nativeapp that
lets you:
Create a graphical representation of your process using adapters as building
blocks.
Configure the execution of adapters and the data that passes between them.
Define the data sources and the data dependencies.
Manage centralized data storage that any user connected to the server can access.
Encapsulate knowledge and know how to eradicate manual simulation processes,
significantly improving efficiency and traceability.
Capture complex integration workflows that robustly take into account the variability of
a high number of design variables and multiple simulation tools for use in design
exploration.
Interact with other apps to deploy modeling and simulation best practices to be
repeatable, reusable, and accessible. For example, a methods developer can use Automation Process
Composer to define a workflow that captures company-wide standards and best practices. They can
then use the Process Experience Studio app to create a template based on the workflow. A wider audience of users can then use
the Performance Study app to open the simulation template, make changes within the specified limits, and run
a new simulation process.
After your process runs, you can use the Performance Trade-off app to examine the data generated from running the Automation Process
Composer workflow.
