Hi! I have to model an hospital department made of 3 different floors. How can I build them and link them? I am using FlexsimHealthcare for Education
Multi Floors
FlexSim HC 5.3.10
Sorry but I have some few questions!
- I have built a basic model of a three floors hospital, but even though I connected elevator to the path, staff and patients still move without using the elevator; how can I fix this?
- How is it possible to include patients arrivals by an ambulance?
- Is it possible to define different bed areas according to different parts of the hospital (different part of the same department)? reparto-completo.fsm
I fixed various things in the model. RN_1 wasn't connected to the path, the elevators weren't connected to the path nodes on the bottom floor, the Beds were connected to a node that wasn't connected to anything else.
I changed a couple instances of
getcensus(TriageArea < 1)
to
getcensus(TriageArea) < 1
And finally I cleared the Use Predecessors box of activity 30 and 40 since you're using the Next Activity field of activity 20 to start them and they were being started twice. See the attached model:
Most people just make a separate arrivals object to represent ambulance arrivals.
Yes, you can make as many areas as you want.
If you have any other questions please post a new separate question.
P.S. FlexSim Healthcare 5.3 is no longer being developed. There is a newer version of FlexSim Healthcare in FlexSim 2020. If possible you should switch to FlexSim 2020. Here's a link to the healthcare tutorial for FlexSim 2020:
