Enterprise Dynamics is a discrete event simulation software platform developed by . It is used to design and implement simulation solutions.[3] The Enterprise Dynamics (ED) platform has several market-specific libraries to conform to customer requirements. These libraries are:[4]
- ED Logistics
- ED Airport
- ED Transport
- ED Warehouse
- PD Pedestrian Dynamics
- ED Educational
- Showflow
History[]
Enterprise Dynamics is based on the Taylor II simulation software, which was developed by F&H Simulations.[5] In 1998, the newly developed simulation platform Taylor Enterprise Dynamics was introduced and in 2000, F&H Simulations was acquired by the consulting company and simulation software distributor Incontrol Business Engineers. The new company name became and Taylor ED was renamed to Enterprise Dynamics. At this time F&H Simulations, now called Flexsim Software Products, became independent and developed a new simulation software called Flexsim.[6][7]

Architecture[]
Enterprise Dynamics is an object-oriented simulation platform combined with an event-oriented approach. The user can select standard simulation objects (the so-called 'Atoms'), in which the behavior of their real life equivalents is captured, from a library and create a model by clicking and dragging the objects into the model space. For each simulation object, parameters can be altered to change its behavior.[8][11]
