JaamSim- Discrete-event Simulation Software

Support the development of open-source JaamSim software.

Notes

The following command line is used to launch the universal jar file:
java -jar JaamSim2024-04.jar

Prior to release 2024-04, a more complicated command line is required if Java 17 or above is used:
java --add-exports java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED -jar JaamSim2024-03.jar

Manuals and Documentation

JaamSim uses the JOGL 3d graphics library developed by Jausoft.

The Big Lean Simulation Library

The Big Lean Simulation Library was created specifically to give Lean Six Sigma instructors an easy way to quickly demonstrate complex concepts to their students. The simulations are small and take between approximately 5 to 30 minutes to show. Each focuses on just a few concepts so you can show them interspersed throughout the class or all at once. They have different motifs (manufacturing, healthcare, back office work, etc.) so you could present different sets of simulations depending on your audience.
