1 Introduction and Related Work
Simulation packages are a perfect tool to model complex and dynamic systems with non-linear interactions. Several review papers and tutorials are written to enable users building simulation models using a simulation software or languages. Based on a subjective evaluation of parameters, Dias et al. (2016) made three clusters of simulation tools. The first cluster includes ProModel, FlexSim, Simul8, and WITNESS. The second cluster discusses ExtendSim, Simio, PlantSimulation, and AnyLogic. Finally, the third cluster covers SimProcess, AutoMod, Micro Saint, QUEST, Enterprise Dynamics, and Process Model. Arena appears in a different cluster. In another work, Schriber et al. (2012) provided several examples in AutoMod, SLX, ExtendSim, and Simio to guide user with simulation modeling. Besides, Dagkakis and Heavey (2016) reviewed an open-source DES with application in manufacturing, services, supply chain management, and logistics. In addition, authors evaluated and identified the best fitted simulation tools for different modeling needs. Later, Guimarães et al. (2018) developed a new method for selecting the right DES software to help and improve the efficiency of processes.
