How to create multiple objects, and set their properties using excel input?

I need to create a model with 400+ queues and processors. Is there a way to provide an excel input of all the queues and processors to be created and set their properties using excel import? Would also be great to set connections between objects using this input as well.

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.4

queues property table create

Yes, this would be possible. You can create objects through Objects.create() and set their properties with Object.setProperty(). At least numerical properties like process time or maximum content are easy to set this way. Other settings like "Send to Port" or a Pull Strategy would be more complex to set via code but still possible.

You can create connections through code as well with contextdragconnection().
