The INSIMAS (Interactive Simulation of Material Flow-Systems) simulation system is described. The systems-concept corresponds to the four planning steps design, analysis, simulation and evaluation. Each step is supported by interactive computer graphics procedures. The simulation run can be represented on a graphics screen by moving of objects (vehicles) through the simulated network. Main application areas of INSIMAS are automated material flow systems like AGVS and electric monorails. The modular architecture allows simple handling based on a network lay-out-plan, descriptions of systems load and dispatching and control strategies.
