How to open output port by processor's self?

Hi,

I sent a message from processor_1 to processor_3.

When processor_3 got the message, close output port. ( I already done this code )

But, I want to set processor_3 after 10minutes open output port by itself.

Can you help me to coding it?

Thanks a lot.

Software Version:

FlexSim 7.7.4

processor delaytime openport

You should consider updating to a recent and supported version of FlexSim.

Thanks.

I know my FlexSim version is too old. It's so sad.

But our college doesn't enough cost to upgrade it...

Send a delayed message or create a user open output event, or use an object process flow.

You can determine what command the message should execute by using different message parameters.

treenode current = ownerobject(c);
int msgparam1 = msgparam(1);

if(msgparam1 == 1)
{
    // Close the output if parameter is 1
    closeoutput(current);
    senddelayedmessage(current, 600, current, 2);
}
if(msgparam1 == 2)
{
    // Open the output if parameter is 2
    openoutput(current);
}

or just:

Object current = ownerobject(c);
closeoutput(current);
createevent(current, minutes(10), EVENT_USEROPENOUTPUT);
