How to process materials by batch?

Hi,

I am trying to process materials of the same type in batches. Is there a way to command the processor to process each batch of materials with a given time duration? I have attached a sample model with a global table showing the batches of material to be processed.

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.1.2

process in batches

sample-for-batch.fsm (19.9 KiB)

hi @Thao B

I updated the model. the processor max content value will vary based on the table quantity.

@Thao B

You can do this by using a Global Table Lookup from your processor:

Here's an updated version of your model with this change: sampleforbatchanswer.fsm

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi @Joseph Gillespie

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, I think I was not clear in my explanation, the process time is not for individual materials in each batch but rather the total time for each batch. For example, is there a way to allow the processor to take in all materials in batch 1 at one go and process it in that specified time?
