Hello rwilcox,

Many Simulation Software companies indeed focus on Manufacturing Applications. Nonetheless, every simulation software has certain strengths as well as weaknesses. For example: AutoMod provides powerful 3D animation but it also has a steep learning curve. Witness, on the contrary, does NOT provide good 3D animation but it is very easy to use.

Irrespective of whether it is Manufacturing or Non-Manufacturing application, selection of simulation software always depends on objectives of the simulation study and specific requirements of the simulation modeler.

Hope this helps.
