Output per hour from a Fluid object

Hi,

What is the most effective way of getting output per hour from a Fluid Object? While we can set the output and input rates in the object property window, I wanted to know the ways to validate the actual flow rate. The Standard Dashboard Charts (Output/hour) does not work for Fluid Objects. If this can be done from Statistics Collector, Can someone share the way it can be executed? Thanks in advance!

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.0.5

The statistics collector of the standard chart depends on the On Entry/On Exit events which don't exist for the fluid objects.

You can build your own statistics collector that uses a timer event to collect the current output statistic every hour. See the attached model for an example.

Hi @Felix Möhlmann @Jeanette F Is there a way to obtain the last updated value from a Statistics collector table (of a specific column). I'm looking to extract the data to a performance measure or plot a graph. It has to be the last value of a column and not average. The obtained data will therefore keep updating as there are more rows added every hour. Thanks in advance!

Table.query("SELECT * FROM StatisticsCollector1 ORDER BY Time DESC")[1]["TotalOutput"]

.. for example.
