I need to reduce my model through subflow but I don´t know what I can use, I have a student license and I still have to put some activities.
Thank you
How can i make my model to use subflow?
FlexSim 19.1.1
I recommend, you do the tutorials of Process Flow:
3- Sub Process Flow
4- Process Flow Instances
if you have done them already, then do them again, until you understand how to transform a process flow sequence to be used in instances.
You get into trouble with your current "travel, move object, travel, move object" - activity sequence, because you transfer an array of pulled items to those activities. Now only the first of the five elements in the array gets evaluated. It would be better if you set an element of the array to be transferred in the activities directly by adressing it with the square brackets [ ]. Or you adjust the array that the first element changes after each finished sequence before you start over again. You find suitable methods in the FlexScript class reference for arrays. (for example pop(), shift()).
You can replace the loop by a sub process flow.
And secondly you start your load unload sequence by an event that fires for every item, but you pull 5 items for the repeating sequence. The squence must get starting tokens only for each fifth item.
In this model I made an instanced flow and attached it to both of the planes in the model. I then connected the plane to the queue it pulls from with a center port connection. That way each instance of the flow can just listen to the On Entry of its center object. I also added two process flow variables to the flow for the group of operators and the group of processors that process should use.
