Tips for improving Arena model runtime speeds

Posted by Melanie Barker on Nov 15, 2021 9:49:57 AM

However, I have run into one or two models that were large and complex enough that runtime became a concern. Based on those experiences, I’ve compiled a list of some of the top tips for how to reduce runtime in your simulation models.

Crystal Reports in 16.1

Posted by Arena Simulation Case Study on Dec 7, 2020 4:01:43 PM

Arena Installation

SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework is required to display Crystal Reports at the end of the model run.  In past versions of Arena, Crystal reports was automatically installed during the Arena installation process. That is no longer the case.  It is now a separate step in installing Arena 16.1.  Install Arena by selecting the MediaImage folder > autorun.exe.
