DUALIS LayoutBuilder
Create layouts and simulations in Visual Components from Excel data, flowcharts, or value stream inputs using a guided workflow for quick setup and first analyses.
DUALIS LayoutBuilder
The DUALIS LayoutBuilder add-on enables you to turn planning data from Excel spreadsheets, flowcharts, or value stream analyses into executable 3D simulation models in Visual Components without deep simulation expertise. You can quickly analyze throughput, identify bottlenecks, and explore layout scenarios dynamically — making early concept planning, layout evaluation, and communication with stakeholders more efficient.
Overview
DUALIS LayoutBuilder bridges the gap between practical planning tools such as Excel or flowcharts and the 3D simulation power of Visual Components. It lets you define material flow and process logic in familiar formats and automatically generate dynamic simulation models that go far beyond static approaches. LayoutBuilder lowers the entry barrier to simulation and supports both early-stage project planning and more advanced scenario evaluations.
Features
- Structured workflow for creating executable 3D simulation models from Excel, flowcharts, or value stream inputs.
- Automated layout generation and model creation — no manual simulation building required.
- Integrated support for early throughput and bottleneck insights.
- Suitable for both early project phases and advanced scenario evaluation.
- Enables optimization and refinement directly inside Visual Components.
- Works with familiar planning formats to accelerate adoption and reduce effort.
