Please click on the video below to see some of the highlights of what’s new in ProModel/MedModel 2018.
ProModel and MedModel Simulation technologies and services help to plan, design and improve manufacturing, logistics and healthcare systems. They accurately represent real-world processes, including their inherent variability and interdependencies, in order to rapidly and easily conduct predictive analysis on multiple scenarios. You can virtually optimize your systems around your key performance indicators, before investing in any changes.

Proposed Hospital Floor Layout

Proposed Mfg Layout
This new release focused on significantly enhancing the UI as well as improving access and navigation to build modules, which helps reduce modeling time.
Here are just a couple of the new features and functionality:
Ribbon UI
The traditional menus and toolbars have been replaced with a fluent Ribbon bar like the one you find in Microsoft Office applications. The new Ribbon makes it easier to access the various modules and features within the application and better facilitate touch screen and high-resolution devices.
Quick Access Toolbar
Add highly used ribbon buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) for fast and easy access to the program functionality they provide (located in the upper left corner of the application). Either select an option from the Customize menu or right-click on a button in the ribbon and choose to add it to the QAT.
Docking Windows
Windows are now docked within the new workspace interface, which means that when you adjust the size of one window, the others automatically resize accordingly. Say goodbye to overlapping windows. You can also stack windows on top of each other and quickly access them from their respective tab thus saving valuable view space. Windows even proportionally adjust when you resize the entire application.
You can also learn more about this release at the recording of the What’s New? Webinar as well as a recent ProModel | MedModel 2018 Refresher Training webinar.
