Set the process time by a label using a Global Table

Hi FlexSim team,

I would like to set the process time of a processor depending on the Model label (by a global table). Is it possible to read from the Global Table the Model (Row) and the Process Time accordingly?

Here is attached my model: Process Time by Model label.fsm

Thank you,
Luis

Your model will work if you move the values in the Models column into the row headers of the table:

Otherwise you would need to use the Table.getValueByKey() method:

Table("GlobalTable1").getValueByKey(item.Model, 2, 1)

Hi Matthew,

I did the changes but it doesn't works. Is anything else that I have to set it up?

Thank you,
Luis

Hello @Luis Fernando,

There are two issues.

The first issue is that your global table 2 values are a string instead of a numerical. You can change this by right clinking on the column and selecting assign data.


Next, your Label Model's value is a letter. In the processor you have it input as if its a number.

With your current setup it looks like you would need to use a command like Table.getrowbykey.
