I was trying to replace 100's of processors in the place of combiner at the same time and it should not change only the visual it should include the properties too, without changing the name of the object. is it possible ?
Thanks in Advance
This is very much possible in FlexSim. First, add the combiners to a group. Then using a process flow or through a script in the script console record the location and name of the combiners in a global table. Then using another pf or script you can look at the recorded data and create machines with the same name and location.
Here's a sample model. The processor and combiner copies are made from the template machines in the model ("Combiner1 and Processor1).
Yeah its working but its not copying the exact name of the Combiner.
@Tamilselvan , can it be that objects you are going to destroy are still present when you insert and copy data to new machines? It is so, that it is not allowed to have two objects with identical names in a model. If you rename an object and it exists by name twice you get a message to be absolutely sure about it.
Attached is the modified model adding combiner names also in a column.
Another solution is based on SQL Queries.
Table Q = Table.query("SELECT Object,Object.name,Location FROM Objects() WHERE Class = 'Combiner' "); //Selects the combiners from the model
Q.cloneTo(Table("GlobalTable1"));// Clone to a Global table name, location
Table GT = Table("GlobalTable1");
GT.addCol(); // adding an extra colum to GT for Processor Class
int ColNo = GT.numCols;
for(int k=1;k<=GT.numRows;k++)
{
GT[k][ColNo] = "Processor";
}
GT.setColHeader(ColNo,"Class");
Table Q1 = Table.query("DELETE FROM Objects() WHERE Class = 'Combiner' ");// Delete The Combiners
Table Q2 = Table.query("INSERT INTO Objects()(Class,Name, Location) SELECT Class,name,Location FROM GlobalTable1"); //Placing ProcessorsIn the location of Combiners
You can run this script on the script console.
