BPSim Execution Engine availability

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I started looking at the BPSim feature in EA 12.1 beta. Simulating BPMN processes with a proper simulation engine can be of interest e.g. to help non-BPMN targets to better understand a flow (this is a basic example - I can see that BPSim can go much further).

So I started creating a simulation config according to the EA User Guide.
However Enterprise Architect BPSim Execution Engine has not been released yet (I get the message 'Please install...'). Hence I have 2 queries:
- when a beta version of this engine due to be released for testing purposes?
- what are the other BP Simulation engine that can work with the XML export file (if any)?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I can't give any dates. My understanding is that it should be available very soon.

It's an implementation of BPSim. I'm not sure about support from other tools including simulation engines.

EA 12.1 Build 1224 release notes state "MDG BPSim Execution Engine now available".

However I cannot find any available installation file from Sparx site.

I installed the latest version of EA (12.1, build 1224) and I get this message when I try to run a BPMN simulation:

Please install 'MDG BPSim Execution Engine'

Did I miss a part of the installation?

There is an announcement on the Sparx home page right under the 12.1 release announcement that indicates that the BPSim engine has not been released yet.  I'm assuming the release notes got a little ahead of reality in that the intent is to release with 12.1 just not with build 1224

As of yesterday (Australia time) 'coming soon' refers to the ability to purchase.
