Create a simple method (or self-recognition) to import data as FlexScript type on import. I am running several scenarios where the distributions are updated outside of FlexSim and imported through Excel interface. Every time I import, I have to update the fields as FlexScript before running the scenario.
You can use the executeCell() command to execute a string datatype cell as FlexScript:
Table("GlobalTable1").executeCell(1,1);
You can also edit the Post Import Code to automatically toggle the cells in a certain column to be FlexScript rather than doing it manually:
Table table = Table("GlobalTable1");
int col = 2;
for (int row = 1; row <= table.numRows; row++) {
switch_flexscript(table.cell(row, col), 1);
}
buildnodeflexscript(table);
Can you explain how to do this for switching to numerical and text? I looked up "switch_numerical" or "switch_text" in the command helper but didn't find these functions. @phil.bobo
table.cell(1,1).dataType = DATATYPE_NUMBER; table.cell(1,1).dataType = DATATYPE_STRING;
