Overview

Autodesk FlexSim is a 3D discrete event simulation software used to model, analyse, and optimise production, logistics, and supply chain processes. It enables organisations to create detailed, data-driven models to evaluate performance and improve operational efficiency. Key capabilities include drag‑and‑drop model building, pre‑built libraries for manufacturing and warehousing systems (e.g. conveyors and AGVs), scenario testing in a risk‑free environment, and built‑in experimentation tools to predict outcomes and optimise performance. FlexSim also provides realistic 3D visualisation to help communicate insights and support decision-making. FlexSim is used by engineers, analysts, and operations teams in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and healthcare to reduce risk, increase throughput, and optimise resource utilisation before implementing changes in the real world.
