Add new process in Multiprocessor with Flexscript

I'm setting up an automatic reading of a customized document with FlexScript, and part of the work involves assigning the numbers from a global table to the processors.

I have cases where a single station performs more than 2 processes and I would like to use the multiprocessor for this.

but I couldn't find anything that helps me add more than one process to the multi processor and assign their values via flexscript, could you help me?

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.0 beta

flexscript processtime multiprocessor newprocess

@Maria B17, please investigate a multiprocessor with one or a few processes and a multiprocessor with one more process in its model tree. Then you are able to replicate the mechanism to customize a multiprocessor by process flow or Flexscript.

There isn't a single function to do this yet, but you could use something like this:

treenode multiprocessor = Model.find("MultiProcessor1");
treenode optable = getvarnode(multiprocessor, "optable");

// Add new operation variable
treenode newOperation = optable.first.copy(optable);
int num = newOperation.rank;
string processName = "Process" + num;
newOperation.name = processName;

// Add new state to the MultiProcessor state profile
treenode profile = applicationcommand("enumeratestatelist", multiprocessor, 1);
treenode newProfile = profile.subnodes.add();
newProfile.dataType = DATATYPE_NUMBER;
newProfile.name = processName;
newProfile.rank = newOperation.rank;
applicationcommand("commitstatelist", multiprocessor, 1, profile);
