question

Hi @Wen Hao, there is a manual. It comes with the program. There is a chapter called “Simulation Best Practices” and a sub chapter called “Before Building Your Model“. Therein you find a section called “Determine Your Key Metrics”. You are at a stage where you think about how to build your logic and to gather data from your model. Both subjects are essential for a model and they both must grow in the same speed as your amount of 3D Objects are increasing. Throwing all objects into a model and then starting to enhance it with a logic and data collecting tools won’t work. Please consider to start with a much smaller model with lesser objects and enhance this with data collecting abilities and control logic mechanism simultaneously. Then you let grow this model with abilities that you had tested in other small models. Model building is an evolutionary process.

Comments to your points of question.

1. It is not wrong to do this. Perhaps it is easier to gather lists from a transposed matrix.
2. By tasksequences. They let taskexecuters like operators to get in action. There are tutorials to activate operators in a model. Do them and then come back and ask specific questions.
3. There are tutorials, too, to cope with this task. For the start there are red pins in the quick properties tool pane in the statistic tab to start with.
