Hello, everyone!
I need some help. I don't know how to pause my processor's input while setting up the processor with an operator. The setup is happening, but while it happens, the object stays inside de processor, and i want it to wait untill de setup is finished. How can I do that ?
Here's a model that I think would help you out: setupwithoutitem.fsm
This uses Process Flow to cause each item to wait 5 seconds (the processor setup time) before moving onto the processor to be processed. The operator doesn't do much in my model, but I'm not sure if you have him doing anything else in yours or not.
Let me know if you have any questions on this!
@Joseph Gillespie yes ! That was exactly what I need !
Unfortunatelly I don't know anything about process flow. Can you suggest me any tutorial or something like that ?
Thank you a lot!
Sure! I would suggest first doing the FlexSim basics tutorial: FLEXSIM BASICS TUTORIAL
Then you can go through the Process Flow tutorials. Here's a link to the first Process Flow tutorial: PROCESS FLOW TUTORIAL 1
There are many more tutorials as well on other FlexSim subjects. If you still have questions after doing the tutorials, make sure to check out the User Manual or ask us!
Sorry to be bothering you again, but could you give me this same example above usign 3D logic? I swear I tried and tried to learn about process flow, but it's driving me crazy.
Could you give me a hand again?
I realized that in the previous model I gave you the processor could process multiple items at once. I've fixed that here: setupwithoutitem.fsm
It would probably be possible simulate setting up with only 3D, but it would be much more difficult than using Process Flow. Using Process Flow can make customizing models much easier and is well worth the effort of learning how to use it. Do you have any specific questions about how to use Process Flow or questions about the tutorials?
The problem is that the simulation I want to do is bigger than this parts that I'm asking you, so I imagine that if I would use Process Flow now, I would have to adapt my whole model, but I don't know how to use Process Flow at all.
Of course I'am going to study more about Process Flow, but the biggest problem is that I have a deadline to finish this project.
So if there is some way to adapt Process Flow to specific and short parts of my model, it would be good.
