Next-Sim is a new major update to Next-Vis with the features below. Next-Sim enables SES engineers to easily perform multiple simulations, simultaneously.
I’m looking for a few beta testers to test the software. To test or attend a virtual demonstration, contact me.
Next-Sim’s New Features:
-
Queue multiple simulations for parallel processing
-
Create multiple iterations from Next-In’s new iteration worksheet. Then run, post-process, and summarize all results in one worksheet.
-
Run one or multiple simulations without a command prompt from input files or Next-In
Existing Features (from Next-Vis see below):
-
Create Excel files for all SES output and additional output, such as actual airflow and average sub-segment temperature in normal simulations.
-
Populate SES data in Visio templates using Next-Sim stencils: 'airflow or air velocity, air temperature, wall temperature, train and fire position, fan and jet fan operation, dampers open or closed, and simulation info.
-
Perform analyses on SES Output
-
Average results from staggered normal simulations
-
Summarize all data along a route (great to plot tunnel temperatures)
-
All Features from Next-Vis
SES analyses are easier by creating Excel files and populating Visio diagrams from output files: SES 4.1, 6.0, and OpenSES.
License Prices for 2024
Next-Vis is available as a Floating License or Node-Locked.
-
$3,500 USD per year, or

Using Stencils
This video demonstrates how to create schematics in Visio using the Next-Vis Visio Stencils. The instruction file distributed with Next-Vis summaries this information.
SES Output to Excel
Next-Vis converts all SES second-by-second and summary data to Excel. This video shows the creation and structure of the Excel File.
