Pause model at certain time period and resume later

I really appreciate if you can help me on this simple request.

How can I pause the entire model from 8:00pm to 7:00 am. all remaining process will resume till next 8:00 pm. ?

I tried to use stop(); , but it will pause the model. but how to resume automatically based on schedule?


Thank you

Did you try to set Time Table? You can make All Fixed Resources and Task Executers stop and resume using 'Time Table'. You can find it in Toolxox>Time Table option menu.

You have two different scenarios.

  1. An actual stop of objects stored items
  2. Closing of Input for processors.

Maybe you change the state manually after a last processed item.

I prefer to implement two timetables. And maybe a small process flow to change state, if processors are running empty.
