I'm trying to simulate a set of BPMN models. The hierarchy of sub-processes, based on assignments, go about 14 levels down at the deepest. Each sub-process contains anywhere from 3 to about 30 activities or sub-processes objects.
Initially, I tried simulate from the top-level process. After abut 30 minutes of trying to load the BPMN models into the simulation tool, the ARIS client seemed to hang.
It looks like I'll have to chunk up the process models into smaller parts and simulate each part and then stitch back the results.
I'm looking for guidance on how big of a chunk can I simulate at once. Some questions I have:
- Is there a limit to the objects (sub-processes, activities, events, gateways) I use in one simulation run?
- Is there a practical limit on how deep of assignments I can go?
- What is the largest BPMN model, in terms of sub-processes, activities, gateways, events and assignment levels, have you simulated at once?
Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
