Good morning,
I'm trying, as you can see in the picture, to fill both mixers in this sequence:
1 -Fill "FluidMixer1" and once its full start releasing material to "FluidConveyor 2".
2- As the releasing time is equal to the filing time i need to fill the "FluidMixer2" while 1 is happening.
3- Then once "FluidMixer2" is full start releasing and start filing "FluidMixer1"
Thanks a lot!
I suggest, you read best practices for using this answers site and then you edit a bit the content of your question.
Hi @Simon G3,
It looks like this question may be part of a homework assignment or academic project. The professors who assign simulation modeling exercises using FlexSim expect that the academic integrity of their assignments will be maintained. In addition, we are supportive of Honor Codes or Pledges that regulate the behavior surrounding academic assignments.
I recommend reading our best practices page on the subject, which includes some resources that you should find helpful as you use FlexSim for academic purposes. I also highly recommend Dr. Allen Greenwood’s FlexSim Primer, which was written specifically for students and professors.
We are happy to help students who have specific questions and show they are trying to implement things into their own model (not have someone on the forum do it for them).
I'm sorry if it sounded like that but it's not the idea. It's not part of a homework, I'm using it for my last project of my university. If you can't help me, it's alright.
You can get help from this forum, but we need more from you. One thing that would help is uploading your model.
Another would be to have a specific question about how to do something rather than listing what you expect. This shows us what you are seeking to learn and what we need to teach you.
It would be helpful to search the forum for questions you have and for you to search the manual.
You can do this by closing the input of one mixer and then have the other mixer open it when it has enough material for the first step.
Unfortunately, there are not many prebuilt trigger options on the "Before Step Delay Trigger" which fires when it has enough material, so you should enter this code in that trigger of BOTH mixers:
current.centerObjects[1].input.open(); current.input.close();
Make a center port connection between the two mixers and then have ONE of them close its input at reset using the Triggers tab and selecting the onReset option to close its ports.
