Abstract:
Computer simulation software is an essential tool for efficiently simulating complex processes. Construction Oriented Simulation MOdelling System (COSMOS) Simulator is a program developed specifically for simulating models created using COSMOS methodology, a modified Petri Net designed for simulating construction-based operations. However, unlike some existing Petri Net-based simulators, which may require a deep understanding of Petri Net theory, COSMOS is designed to be intuitive and accessible to construction professionals. Although previous studies have used the COSMOS Simulator to simulate various construction processes and documented its accuracy, no published work directly describes the simulator itself. This article aims to provide a detailed description and illustration of the COSMOS Simulator's features, especially its ability to model and simulate specific construction behaviours. This paper offers a resource for researchers and practitioners interested in leveraging COSMOS for their construction modelling and simulation needs.
