Sawmill Simulation Data Instructions And Computer Programs PDF Download

"By using a computer to simulate the sawing, we have devised a way to saw the same log in many different ways to find out which way gets the best yield from the log. Sawmill production managers often find it hard to tell what sawing pattern will yield the most. If sample logs are sawed in one sawing pattern, they cannot be reassembled and sawed again in a different pattern. And if a new sample of logs is used for each new sawing pattern, it is hard to tell if differences in yield are due to the sawing patterns or are due to natural differences between the logs in the samples. But by using a computer to simulate the sawing, the same log sample can be sawed again and again, and yields of the different sawing patterns can be compared.S3.
