VBA Automation in Arena — Arena-simulation-scripts Code
VBA script controlling Arena simulation runs and exporting results to Excel.
Private Sub RunArena()
Dim model As ArenaModel
Set model = Application.Models(1)
model.RunSimulation
model.ExportResults "C:\\sim_results.xlsx"
End SubArena-simulation-scripts Language Guide
Arena Simulation Scripts refer to custom logic written using Arena’s SIMAN language, VBA automation, and Arena Expression Builder to extend, control, and automate discrete-event simulations. Scripts allow fine-grained control of model behavior beyond graphical modules.
Primary Use Cases
- ▸Implementing custom entity logic using SIMAN blocks
- ▸Creating advanced decision-making rules
- ▸Automating experiments with VBA
- ▸Interfacing Arena models with Excel/Access
- ▸Extending built-in modules with custom scripts
Notable Features
- ▸SIMAN-based custom block modeling
- ▸VBA automation for experiment control
- ▸Expression Builder for inline calculations
- ▸Arena template panels for extensible logic
- ▸Support for external database and Excel integration
Origin & Creator
Developed by Rockwell Automation as part of the Arena Simulation platform, built on SIMAN simulation language.
Industrial Note
Arena scripting is critical for high-precision system modeling where standard modules cannot represent complex decision rules, priority systems, or dynamic scheduling behaviors.
