Overhead Revenue
The global data item Overhead Revenue is a special global variable created by Simul8 automatically. It records the overhead financial revenue generated by your simulation.
You can attach Revenue to End Points in your simulation. Overhead Revenue allows you to specify additional costs not triggered by work items passing through simulation objects. You may want to keep track of one-off revenue, for example selling an asset, that is not triggered by the flow of work in the simulation.
