Demo Models

Demo Models is a library of thirty complete, ready-to-run models that ship with ProcessModel. Every one is a finished process built around a real problem, with the arrivals, resources, shifts and logic already set up, so you can open one and run it without building anything first.

They are the fastest way to see what a working model looks like, and a good starting point for one of your own: open the demo closest to your process, then change it.

Open the library from File ▸ Demo Models, or with the Demo Models button on the toolbar.

The Demo Models window: an industry rail listing All 30, Healthcare 4, Manufacturing 8, Supply Chain 4, Services 8, Defense 3 and Government 3, beside a grid of model cards each with an icon, a title, an industry badge, a one-line summary and Open and Brief buttons

How the library is organised

Section titled “How the library is organised”

The rail down the left side groups the models by industry, with the number of models in each: Healthcare, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Services, Defense and Government. All at the top shows the whole set, grouped in that same order. Each industry has its own color, which carries through to the badge on every card, so you can tell at a glance where a model came from.

Each card gives you the model’s name, its industry, and one line describing the problem it is about. There is no search box: the rail plus thirty cards is small enough to browse.

Reading a model before you open it

Section titled “Reading a model before you open it”

Brief slides a panel over the grid with the full story behind that model: the situation, what was tried, what the simulation showed and the takeaway. It is worth reading first, because each demo is built to make one specific point, and the brief tells you what to look for once you run it.

Press Escape to close the brief and go back to the grid. Press it again to close the library.

Opening a demo

Section titled “Opening a demo”

Open loads that model onto the canvas. It comes in ready to run, so you can press Run straight away and watch it.

A demo replaces whatever is on the canvas. If the model you have open has unsaved changes, ProcessModel asks first, with Save, Don’t Save and Cancel. Cancel leaves everything as it was and the demo is not loaded. With no unsaved changes, the demo loads immediately.

A demo opens as a new, unsaved model with no file of its own. That matters in two ways:

  • The originals are read-only and you can never overwrite one. Change a demo as much as you like.
  • Save will ask you where to put it, exactly as it would for a model you built yourself. Until you do, it is not on disk anywhere.

The four on the welcome screen

Section titled “The four on the welcome screen”

The welcome screen carries four of the demos as tiles, alongside Blank Canvas, so there is something to run within seconds of a first launch. They behave exactly like the cards in the library, and the full set of thirty is always a click away under File ▸ Demo Models.
