I'm making a model which I have to enter 91 item but each item has different times and a different drawing; different measures of length, width and height, it is best to assign a "Source" for each item or is there a way to reduce the incorporation of 91 items to the model?
Annex screenshot of 25 items of 91.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Solution.
Creating tokens according to the rows of a "Global Table". Assigning an order of creation so that by means of that label, when going through "Delay" read its value in the "Global Table" so that it believes in the "Queue" according to the time distribution.
If many items should have the different interarrival interval times to be created, you need to use Process Flow. Using 3D Source needs the same quantity of the cycle time type of them.
Make a reference of below link.
This will help you.
And another way is to create the items in the starting queue or other object like processor using 'create' command script when the items arrived to the destination object.
Using the table your captured will be easy to make the model you want.
Using Source with your table is a way and creating the items with your table in queue using process flow is another way.
The quantity of items is not problem in flexsim. You need to set the item Type number same with the row number of your table. And sorting the table as ascending time coloumn is convinent to make the script.
I experienced to make a model of 660 items unique like above.
Those times that I put in the screenshot are examples, the real ones are distributions. Would it apply the same thing you mentioned or should I create a Source for each item since they have different time distributions?
Model annex with 6 Source, each one has a different time of arrival and measurements. How could I reduce all this to a Source? it's possible? I must create a source for each item since it has different time distributions.
