Add new process in Multiprocessor with Flexscript

I'm setting up an automatic reading of a customized document with FlexScript, and part of the work involves assigning the numbers from a global table to the processors.

I have cases where a single station performs more than 2 processes and I would like to use the multiprocessor for this.

but I couldn't find anything that helps me add more than one process to the multi processor and assign their values via flexscript, could you help me?

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.0 beta

flexscript processtime multiprocessor newprocess

@Maria B17, please investigate a multiprocessor with one or a few processes and a multiprocessor with one more process in its model tree. Then you are able to replicate the mechanism to customize a multiprocessor by process flow or Flexscript.

There isn't a single function to do this yet, but you could use something like this:

treenode multiprocessor = Model.find("MultiProcessor1");
treenode optable = getvarnode(multiprocessor, "optable");

// Add new operation variable
treenode newOperation = optable.first.copy(optable);
int num = newOperation.rank;
string processName = "Process" + num;
newOperation.name = processName;

// Add new state to the MultiProcessor state profile
treenode profile = applicationcommand("enumeratestatelist", multiprocessor, 1);
treenode newProfile = profile.subnodes.add();
newProfile.dataType = DATATYPE_NUMBER;
newProfile.name = processName;
newProfile.rank = newOperation.rank;
applicationcommand("commitstatelist", multiprocessor, 1, profile);

I used your code and it works well for my model. Just 1 thing that how can I change the process time of the process added in, and how can I delete a process that I just add in before.

One last thing, I don't really understand all your script so I want to ask if you have and document or course that kind of cover all the command or the concept of the script you gave.

thank you!

In this case you can use the table functions to do what you want - eg:

Table optable=getvarnode(Model.find("MultiProcessor1"), "optable");
optable["Process"]["cycletime"]=50;
optable.deleteRow(optable.getRowNum("Process3"));

You might also benefit from looking a the documentation for tables and treenodes. If you need further assistance I'd recommend you create a new question.
