Using Flexsim as a simulation engine?

Can Flexsim be used purely as a simulation engine with no graphics being used at all?

In fact, taking this further, can a model be called from a command prompt (along with any relevant attributes), run in the background, and output directly to a spreadsheet or database.

Thanks

Kenny

Kenny,

The com object in user development does what you are asking for from Excel. Basically it will allow you to press a button and then have Excel open Flexsim, load a model, run the model, export the results, and close.

The Concept Training System I am trying to get ready to post uses the com object in this way as well.
