Concurrent Processes

Hi,

How I can create two concurrent processes in the same activity set each of which has different processing times. To explain more, I have an exam room process in which the processing time follows a triangular distribution. It contains three activities A, B, and C, and each of these activities have specific and fixed processing times. I want to make just activity B ( with X minutes of processing times) concurrent with the whole exam room process. How it could be possible?

Thanks!

FlexSim 21.1.4

Your constant process time (B) must be fitting into the triangular distributed time. It is a maximum of two values

Math.max(const. time B, triangular distribution)

@Joerg Vogel My question is how I can create two concurrent processes in the same activity set.

Would using Split and Join activities do what you're wanting? That way you could send the split tokens through different delays at the same time.

Seems a good idea! I'll try that. Thanks!
