Whenever I select a Nurse as the escort in Track 1, Activity 600, the model refuses to retain the entry when the model is either reset or saved. Instead it produces the error massage shown below and erases the entry.
How can I assign a Nurse as the Escort in Track 1, Activity 600?
FlexSim HC 5.0.12
The node for that staff requirement doesn't have string data. You can execute this script to put string data on that node:
nodeadddata(node("MODEL:/Tools/PatientBin/Track1/Track1>variables/ActivityTable/ 600_Escort to Waiting Room/StaffTable/1"), DATATYPE_STRING);
Before version 5, those nodes didn't have string data since the requirements were just stored on the subnodes. I added string data to them so that you could use code and pickoptions to define the staff and I wrote model update code to update old models to this new style. I'm not sure though how this activity has no string data since it looks like the model was built in version 5.
Matt - In fact, the model was built yesterday by a student using Version 5, in the Flexsim HC class I taught at Lehigh University. When he asked me what was going on with the model, I couldn't give him a "why" answer. Ergo the question I wrote for "Answers." Adrian - We didn't try deleting and re-entering Activity 600 which would probably have been the best immediate approach to a solution. Fun stuff when things happen in class! Woof!
Hi Lou,
I'm not sure exactly what was causing this, but the problem was resolved when I deleted activity 600 and recreated it.
