Experiment Control

Experiment.fsm

Created a simple process flow to use in Experiment control to study different scenarios.

Two Delays in the process flow.

Scenario A B
Processor 1 Time minutes(1) minutes(1)
Processor 2 Time
minutes(2)
minutes(5)

Somehow, I could not add performance measure in the second tab review overall process thoughtput.

Please help.

@Jingyong P,

You can add performance measures on the Performance Measures tab in the Experimenter. Based on what you described, it looks like you want the content statistics of Sink1. You can specify that in the value field for the Performance Measure. Just select "Statistic by individual object" and then set up the proper options in the window shown:

I added an example in an updated version of your model here:

@tanner.p Thanks for your reply.

at Scenario tab, I set two scenarios.experiment-1.fsm

measured in minute/item

Scenario Inter-Arrival Time
Process time 1 Process time 2
calculated throughput
A 3 3
3
60/3=20/hr
B 10 3
3 60/10=6

How come i got same result from those two experiments?


Thank you.

It looks like the variable in the Scenarios is not functioning like you've intended. To be honest, I'm not sure why it doesn't work to grab the delay activity out of the tree like that, but it probably has to do with the data type.

I recommend using a Global Variable, Global Table, or something else to change the process time. I set up a Global Variable and it works as intended. Many of these pick-list options will work.
