Here is a sample that does just that. I think that the Restricted navigation portion is what you want.
Basically, it keeps track of which slides (could be layers) the user visits, and when all are visited, it shows navigation objects which allow the user to advance. I much prefer my own navigation, but with little more work, it could be customized to work for the built-in Next Button. You just need to set the NEXT button to hidden when the slide starts, then show it when the conditions are met, instead of the custom button.
Set up one true/false variable per simulation (e.g. simulation1, simulation2, simulation3, etc.). Make these variables false.
When the user comes to the last slide of the simulation, set that simulation's variable to true.
On the Marker slide, have an trigger that verifies if all the variables are true (e.g. if simulation1 AND simulation2 AND simulation3 AND simulation4 AND simulation5 are true). If they are all true (i.e. they completed all the simulations), perform an action (e.g. go to next slide).
Hi, Malcolm -- I see that you are getting some really great feedback here! I wanted to also pass along this information on How to Temporarily Disable or Hide Navigation Buttons in case that might be of use, as well.
Thanks, Malcolm, and if you find a solution that suits your needs, you are always welcome to share a sample file here so that others may benefit, as well.

Malcolm:
This is pretty straightforward with variables.
Hope this helps.
