Abstract
The aim of this paper is to share the dilemma about approach to simulation tool selection. The paper presents the results of the authors researches using methodologies of enterprises architectures (CIMOSA and GRAI) where agent approach is used to solve planning and managing problems. Processes are performed in enterprise manufacturing and supply chains. To verify new proposed solutions, simulation experiments are necessary. The problem is which simulation tool is appropriate to use for verification. Selected tools based on ABS and DES are presented. Some tools combining DES and ABS approaches are described. The process of choice and recommendation is also presented.
