"Wait for event" using labels from acquired Shared Resources.

HI.

I've been working on a quality control lab model and I recently got stucked at a step.

How can I reference a processor chosen by straight distance to the puller in a wait for event step (object) using its previously assigned label (acquire resource)?

I had to select the previous processors' queue (FILA_XXX) to set the resource groups (creating or unloading items on them, so the label carries their names instead processors') because I want to analyze bottlenecks in the end. I thought about using a "Object by case" function.

Any idea?

The following file is an example.

sample.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.2.5

labels wait for event processors objects

If you used an Acquire Resource and now have the object on a label value you can just enter the label value that references that object. See the attached model for a quick example of this.

Are you getting confused because the Event field isn't giving you the event options you're looking for? This is just because you're using a dynamic object reference and so the UI doesn't know what kind of object you're going to be listening to. I usually just sample one of the objects in the 3D view, choose the event I want to listen to, and then change the object reference to use the label value.
