Arena Scripting is a scripting system used within Arena Simulation Software, allowing users to automate simulation models, customize logic, and extend Arena’s functionality using SIMAN-based modules and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) integration.
Primary Use Cases
- ▸Automating repetitive simulation model tasks
- ▸Defining complex entity routing and decision logic
- ▸Creating custom statistics and output calculations
- ▸Integrating simulation models with Excel or databases
- ▸Building reusable modules and libraries for simulation projects
Notable Features
- ▸SIMAN-based procedural scripting for entity and resource behavior
- ▸VBA integration for external control and calculations
- ▸Custom modules to extend Arena functionality
- ▸Parameterized model logic for scenario testing
- ▸Debugging and trace capabilities within Arena
Origin & Creator
Rockwell Automation developed Arena Simulation in the 1990s, building on the SIMAN simulation language. Arena Scripting emerged as a method to extend Arena models with custom logic and automation.
Industrial Note
Arena Scripting is niche within discrete-event simulation, primarily used in manufacturing, logistics, supply chain, and service systems where detailed process modeling and automation are required.
