SimPy Discrete-Event Simulation

Build, test, and analyze bounded process-based discrete-event simulations in SimPy with correct event semantics and replication-based output analysis.

Data & AnalyticsAdvanced33,0303,248AI score 9/10Last updated: Aug 9, 2026

What it does

  • Gives a full workflow for process-based discrete-event models on pinned SimPy 4.1.2: purpose/estimands → conceptual model → generators → bounded runs → verification → replications → limitations.
  • Documents core semantics precisely: event lifecycle, env.run(until=...) boundary differences, condition events (AnyOf/AllOf), interrupts, and preemption via the Preempted cause.
  • Covers every shared-resource type (Resource, PriorityResource, PreemptiveResource, Container, Store, FilterStore, PriorityStore) and their queue rules.
  • Enforces bounded execution (time, entity, event, replication caps) and time-weighted, non-intrusive monitoring.
  • Ships safe CLIs: built-in bounded queue scenario, replication runner with Student-t intervals, event trace summarizer, and config validator — no network, no eval of user code.

Who it's for

  • Operations researchers and engineers modeling queues, production lines, logistics/inventory, or network traffic.
  • Python users who need reproducible simulation runs with defensible confidence intervals.
  • Anyone who wants deterministic verification tests instead of ad-hoc simulation scripts.

Examples

  • "Simulate a 2-server desk with 4-min mean interarrivals and 6-min service over 480 minutes" → produces a bounded model and reports unfinished entities instead of hiding them.
  • "Give me a 95% CI for mean wait over 30 independent replications" → uses replication_runner.py; single-replication intervals are refused.
  • "Make a preempted job resume its remaining work" → applies the Interrupt/Preempted handling pattern with correct request cancellation.

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/simpy folder from the GitHub repo K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/simpy/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/simpy ~/.claude/skills/

This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy just this skill: cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/simpy ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Set up the pinned environment: uv venv --python 3.13 && source .venv/bin/activate && uv pip install "simpy==4.1.2"
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "Model an M/M/2 queue in SimPy with a 480-minute horizon".
  7. Verify the CLIs: python ~/.claude/skills/simpy/scripts/bounded_queue_scenario.py --help
