Is there a way to create adjacency diagram?

Hi

I wanted to create an adjacency diagram based on the model input that shows the most used pathways based on the locations. How can I create that? Also, how can I filter it based on person type? Thanks!

Hello @Zahra Z,

Would a location throughput chart work? It would show the total number of patients in the model. You can create a subset that sorts by location groups you select and it can be partitioned by patient labels as well.

@Jeanette F , that is also helpful. But, I am trying to help designers and planners understand the priority of spatial closeness. Seean example below: ADJACENCY.png

Hello @Zahra Z, Your adjacency chart takes into account how locations are inter-connected. This is represented in how the process flow can visually be seen but it is not a chart that changes with data. You can place different colored containers around different blocks of activities to follow a key or legend you define like in the adjacency diagram and you can edit the connectors between blocks to see also follow a key or diagram.

Flexsim's charts and graphs possibilities run off of generated statistics.

In all, the adjacency chart cannot be autogenerated from FlexSim, but you can create charts paired with the process flow to convey similar information. You could also use the data and knowledge of the process flow to create an adjacency plot of your own in a different application.
