How to increase run time ahead of last run?

Hi Team,

I am running model for 360 days using experimenter. I observed that 360 days run length is not enough to average out the randomness.

I would like to increase run time by 360 days so total run time will be 720 days now.

Is it possible to run the model just after 360 days instead of taking separate run for 720 days from start?

I would appreciate if there were any criteria to decide sufficient run length.

Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.5

The Licensed Tool OptQuest has got criteriae to end an optimization.

Do the opposite: Let run your model longer than needed and stop an replication by command endreplication.

Hi @Joerg Vogel,

I am trying to end replication as below:

But it is not working.

Can you help me to resolve?

Thank you!

You have to use the command outside of an end replication trigger.

And by the way it is a good practice testing a time not by logical equal better by runtime greater than a stop time. You won’t find an event that fires exactly at runtime 1000.

Yes, you would use an event that detects the processing of the last item for example.

This is untested: Maybe there is an event in eventlist, which terminates an replication in the experimenter. If it is so, then you might delay this identified event by commands of events.
