Model the process which ends when breakdown occurs?

Hi Team,

I am trying to model the process which ends when breakdown occurs using 3D object processor. But I don't think if we can change remaining process time to 0 when breakdown occurs.

Is there any other way to approach it?

Could you help me in that?

Thank you!

You can move the item. You can also destroy the events related to that item using destroyeventsofobject() and passing in the item as the involved parameter - in previous versions this was necessary but a quick test seems to show that may not be needed any more.

If you don't want to move the item out of the procesor then you should destroy the events and create a new process finish event with zero time so that it is released as soon as the processor resumes.

Both examples are in the attached model.
