Model time variable

Hi, I'm working on a model that has different entries (tokens) at the source and each of them has a quantity, and right now the model is using this quantity to process batch's and after this the simulation ends. I want to modify it so that the quantities are "infinite" and the model is stopped at a determined time.

Can anyone give me a hint in how to do this?

Thank you in advance.

One approach would be to create a few tokens per row (enough so there is always at least one token waiting to enter the first zone). Then have each token create a new token before it enters the sink. The only adjustment that's really needed is a new way of assigning an index to the token. In the attached model I use a global variable map that stores the current index for each of the schedule rows.

mlall-4a_1.fsm

To stop the model just set a stop time or use a user event or a small Process Flow block.

Thank you for your answer @Felix Möhlmann , in the last model you helped me add a custom code to save csv files from the dashboard. What I needed is that when I define a stop time it should also save the same csv files. Is it possible?

Sure, just set up a user event (Toolbox -> Modeling Logic) and use the same code from the Custom Code activity (without the if-condition).
