How do i change Processing time of a processor based on model run time?

In the model, I want to change the processing time of a processor based on model run time, Like if model run time changes from 1000 sec to 2000 sec the processor time should change from 5 sec to 10 sec. is it possible? Is there any other way to do it? Can anyone suggest an idea/options?

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.4

No, there is not a mechanism. The run stop is only an imageable stop. If you hit the run button again the model runs again. Other conditions lead to a halt, because there aren’t any events to do left.

You can create events like a delayed message or a user event that stops your model by command. On such occasions you can set different parameters to manipulate the process time. But as I said, it is only a virtual limit of an end of a simulation run. You can let the model run longer or shorter.

Hi @Vaibhav R, I'll attach a sample model where I use a Date Time Source in process flow to do this. I create a token at the time I want to change the processing time and I give the token a label called "ProcessTime." I can then use the code below to change the time based on the token label.

YourProcessor.setProperty("ProcessTime",New Process Time);
