question

Hi Nivedita Ravi,

Since the FlexSim version you are using is FlexSim 16 you have to use the command called content() along with an if structure to make a decision. I have also given the solution for FlexSim 17 version.

In FlexSim 16 Version
treenode Queue= node("Queue",model());//Object is a Queue for example with name "Queue"
treenode Tote = first(Queue);// Suppose Tote is the first ranked object in the Queue 
if(content(Tote)<=5) //Decision made based on Tote's content
{
colorred(Queue)//Colour changed to red colour
}

In FlexSim 17 Version using Dot Syntax

Object Queue = model().find("Queue")//Object is a Queue for example
Object Tote = Queue.first;// Suppose Tote is the first ranked object in the Queue 
if(Tote.subnodes.length<=5) //Decision made based on Tote's content
{
colorred(Queue)//Colour changed to red colour
}

Regards,

Arun KR
