What is aGPSS ?
•aGPSS is a streamlined version of GPSS, a General
Purpose Simulation System. aGPSS is intended to be
starting point in learning simulation

Advantages :-
• Programs are similar to real problems
• The GUI with the block diagram facilitates learning and
understanding.
• The block diagram with 22 different graphical symbols is
useful for modeling the problems.
• The simple block diagram and simple menus allow for
good readability also on small screens
•Programs can be developed quickly

Blocks in aGPSS
• Generate :-
This block will produce a flow of transactions with inter-
arrival times determined by the attribute values. The label is
optional. The distribution of inter-arrival times follows a uniform
probability distribution.
SYNTAX:
line number label GENERATE A,B,C,D,E
ATTRIBUTES:
A = specifies the mean inter arrival time for Transactions to be
created(IAT-20)
B = is numeric value (in a uniform distribution), that specifies
the spread ( ½ IAT spread-5)
C = specifies the time at which the first Transactions arrives
D = maximum number of transactions generated
E = priority allocated to transactions
Blocks in aGPSS

• Seize :-
SEIZE Block has one operand, specifying the name of
Facility or the Facility number . This block allows the transaction
to seize a facility if it is free. Thus it may be a car “seizing” a
“facility” such as a customer in a supermarket “seizing” a
“facility” such as the checkout assistant. When the car or
customer is being serviced by the facility, then it is said to “own
the facility”. The label is optional.

SYNTAX:
line number label SIZE A
ATTRIBUTES:
A = name of station (for example: sam)
Blocks in aGPSS

• Advance :-
ADVANCE block holds a Transaction for a specified
length of time –commonly used to represent the processing time or
the traveling time This block represents the servicing of a
transaction. The servicing times follow a uniform probability
distribution. The label is optional.

SYNTAX:
line number label ADVANCE A,B
ATTRIBUTES:
A = average value of uniform distribution (Delay time-16)
B = half-width of uniform distribution
•A transaction entering this block will be delayed by a time

• Release :-
RELEASE Block frees the specified Facility from
capture. The block has one operand, specifying the name of
Facility or the Facility number to be released A transaction
entering this block informs GPSS that it is giving up ownership
of the facility named in its attribute value. The label is optional.

SYNTAX:
line number label RELEASE A
ATTRIBUTES:
A = name of station (for example: sam)
Blocks in aGPSS
• Terminate :-
This block destroys any transaction entering it and
removes it from computer memory. Each time a transaction
enters this block it decrements a counter by an amount equal to
its attribute value. The counter is set by the user upon starting the
simulation.

SYNTAX:
line number label TERMINATE A
ATTRIBUTES:
A = decrements simulation counter by this amount(Ex. 1)
