Overview

FlexSim is a 3D discrete event simulation software product. According to the company's About page, FlexSim began in 1993 with Bill Nordgren, Roger Hullinger, and Cliff King under the name F&H Simulations, Inc.; the company later changed its name to FlexSim Software Products, Inc., and FlexSim 1.0 was released in February 2003. FlexSim Software Products was acquired by Autodesk in November 2023, and Autodesk FlexSim continues to serve customers. The product is presented as 3D simulation modeling and analysis software that helps users transform existing data into predictions, test "what if" scenarios, and model manufacturing, material handling, healthcare, logistics, and supply chain operations.

History

FlexSim began in 1993 with Bill Nordgren (Co-Founder, ProModel Corporation, 1988), Roger Hullinger, and Cliff King, originally under the name F&H Simulations, Inc. F&H Simulations sold, supported, and conducted training courses for Taylor II simulation software, which was owned and developed by Holland's F&H Simulation B.V. In 1998, F&H Holland developed the first-generation 3D object-oriented simulation engine Taylor ED (Enterprise Dynamics), and F&H Simulations assisted with the development of robust objects for use in Taylor ED. In 2000, as F&H Holland was being acquired, F&H Simulations became independent. Dr. Eamonn Lavery and Anthony Johnson joined to oversee product architecture and begin development of a new 3D object-oriented simulation software called FlexSim. F&H Simulations, Inc. changed its name to FlexSim Software Products, Inc. FlexSim 1.0 was released in February 2003. FlexSim Software Products was acquired by Autodesk in November 2023, with Autodesk FlexSim continuing to help customers model, simulate, and improve manufacturing, material handling, healthcare, logistics, and supply chain operations.
