How to make the model automatically restart when it finishes running?

Hello everyone,

Now I want my simulation restart as soon as the "stop()" is triggered. Also, I set the "stop times" for the model. I want to restart it when it stops. It means that when my model stops, I want it to reset and then run automatically. Is there any functions or methods to accomplish this command? Please help me.

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.0.4

loop reset restart

Kuilin,

what is the actual purpose for you to repeat the same run over and over? Maybe a closer explanation will allow people here to help you better.

My purpose for it is to automatically rerun my model if a logic error exists.

Doing multiple model runs automatically would generally be done by using the experimenter. Apart from setting a fixed stop time for the replications you can also use the command 'endreplication()' to stop a run by some other condition.

Yes - use the experimenter for analysis.

If you wanted to show the model running on a repeated loop, then resetmodel() and go() can also be used if triggered from an independent event - like a delayed message.

But a stop() is final. The model is not running anymore.

Yes - so you can do resetmodel() and go() in the same trigger as the stop() - but that makes the stop() pointless.
