I'm trying to use the following schedule at a resource:
Arrival 1 : 0 seconds
Arrival 2: 5 seconds
Arrival 3: 0 Seconds
Now the way I want it to work is that arrival 1 and 3 will arrive at zero and arrival 2 arrives after 5 seconds. However, the way flexsim works is that arrival 2 and 3 will arrive at 5 seconds; sequential manner. Is there a way I can use this function with independent arrival times? please see attached.
Is there a reason why you can't organize your arrivals by arrival time?
Yes because I'm using a more complicated model with a processflow where I'm setting a label based on rownumber at the scheduled source.
So unfortunately the schedule is designed to handle items based upon their chronological arrival time. However, I still think we could find a way to set the correct label within process flow, and still have a the scheduled source create items in chronological order. How are you setting the label at the row number and what is the label? Rather than trying to index your tokens to match the row number of the schedule, could you not have the Process Flow create tokens based on an Event Triggered source? That would allow the tokens have a direct reference to that item, and then you'd be able to organize them based on chronological order. Would that work for your model?
Sam, Thanks for your reply, I will get around it as suggested, but I was just wondering if there is something built in already.
Okay. If you get stuck or have any questions about setting this up, let us know, we'd be happy to help. Good luck.
