Any recommendations for automation simulation software? I came across ExtendSim, which seems pretty good, but I wanted to see what people thought was best.

I'm looking for something relatively simple (and inexpensive) to simulate conveyors and processing machines with varying queue sizes, processing times, some random quantities. Mostly discrete events.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
