How to use Experiment Control

Hello,

My flexsim version is 7.1.4

I'm trying to run my model 1000 times and get the average makespan. The following picture are the steps I took.

First, I recorded the data I want in the global table.

Second, I set the variables and replications in the simulation experiment control.

Then, I start to run experiment, and export results after each replication.

I would like to know this procedure is correct and what's the meaning of scenario? I don't want to change my variable. That way I didn't type anything in scenario.

After I export results, how to open .T file? Can't I export to excel?

I'v already read manual, but I still do not get it.

Thank you for your support!

You can remove any scenarios if you aren't going to change any variables. You can have different scenerios for different variables or settings. In 1 scenerio you could have 4 operators, while in another you could have 2. Version 7.1.4 is a bit behind so the best way to export data is to hit the view results button and then export results as a html file. The HTML file has tables from which you can copy your results into excel.
