Staytime with zones and subflows

Hello,

I'm measuring how much time tokens need from one part of the processflow to the other. The problem is that statistics collector doesn't measure staytime of the tokens entering subflows. I'm also trying to export statistics collector data to an external excel file.

+ I would like to know how to collect current simulation time in seconds with statistics collector. I tried Model.dateTime method, but I want the output to be seconds only without date, hours and minutes.

The tokens in the subflows are not the ones that entered the zone. So with the default settings, you will get an error message when they enter an "Exit Zone" activity.

Error: A token is leaving (possibly by proxy) without entering zone "..." in process flow "..."

Either move the "Exit Zone" activities to follow after the "Run Sub Flow". Or change the settings that the sub flow tokens exit the zone as a proxy for their parent token.

To get the model time, use "Model.time" and set the display format to "raw".
