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.

To manually set starting values for Overhead Revenue, or to change these without using Visual Logic, see Finance Settings.

The value of Overhead Revenue can be read via the Information Store and it can be changed through Visual Logic using the SET command, as in the image below:
