How set Cycle Time value with FlexScript

Hello good afternoon all right ?

We are building a facilitating model here at the company and we have a small problem, we are adding items from a globaltable and storing these items in a variable, but we are not able to find the code to assign this value in the Cycle Time of the processor object, What we would like is for the process processing time to be this variable without us having to input it manually (we don't want to change the processor for any changes, just changing the cycle time automatically), could you give us an example of how to do this?

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.1

flexscript processor model processtime treenode

I'm afraid I don't quite understand your description. Where exactly should the value for the process time come from?

In general you can put any expression into the process time field as long as it returns a number value > 0.

You can read from a global table:

From a global variable:

From an item label:

And many more...

The expression will be evalualed for item. If you instead want to set the process time to a fixed number that is used for all items until the value is changed again, you can use the setProperty method.

// Example
Object processor = Model.find("Processor1");
processor.setProperty("ProcessTime", 123);

@Felix Möhlmann, the question is about replacing a property. But a process time function is not a property. It is a node of evaluated source code during model runtimes. Your examples show how to inserts a property attribute into a source code function.
