I am trying to monitor the idle, processing, blocked percentage of all machines in my production line excluding the warmup time. I need to identify the bottleneck based on that.
How to exclude warmup time in the statistics and report results?
FlexSim 18.0.1
@Sandeep Kumar I
In the User Manual in the Reference>Tools>Experimenter and Optimizer menu option in "The Experiment Run Tab" area, it says this:
Warmup Time
The simulation time that each replication will run to before resetting their statistics. Statistics will thus only be collected for the time period (Run Time - Warmup Time).
Should answer your question. Using the Experimenter is the only way, I believe, that you can do a model run and set the warmup time and have it reset the statistics after the warmup time thus eliminating them from final run stats.
In 2017 Update 2 or later, you can add a warmup time to the interactive model run using this window:
You can also use the resetstats() command to reset the statistics. You can call that command from a user event to schedule it at a specific time.
@Jeff Nordgren. It looks like it does work that way. I was initially confused in interpreting the results. Thank you for your answer.
