Hi, in my workstation what is the easiest way of making the Bill Of Materials (BOMs) consumption vary according to the entity that is being processed? For example if I get entity A I'll consume the BOM "BOM_of_A": If it is B I'll would consume "BOM_of_B". Thanks!

Ok. Thanks!

Yes it is. But not in the same project, they're included as a library. So in a project I have Encomenda and a Model that has expression refering that Ecomenda. Then I have a greater model where I include this "Encomenda and a Model" as a library. Can I reference an object in an expression that doesn't exist in the project but will later be included in the model where this one will also be included? Thanks!

Thanks!

This is the references from the project that includes that library: This is the references from the library: You can see that the ID is the same but the version is not... That could probably be easily modified in the XML, but we can't edit the XML. What should I do now?

Hi, I'm getting this error when I sometimes unload and reload some libraries into the same project: This library in particular has an entity defined and now after load he says that... The entity is called "Encomenda" and its instance is "OPA001.161" in that particular screenshot. This happens ALOT with Simio, it messes up the project's references and there's no way to solve this. Ofcorse I've tried replacing all Encomenda's instances with new ones based on the new library I've loaded, but nothing changes, it is broken really bad.... What now? Do I need to start the project over? This happens alot with Simio.... Thanks!

How can that be done? I can't find such option.

... unless they come from an external information source to simio, where we haven't object references

Hi, can I get an object reference from a string with its name? Thanks!

Can I associate a table and a row to an entity without using a source and without creating new state variables for that purpose?

It is between Academic and Team.

Hi, I have Academic version of Simio and recently I could try a Team version, but I see that the AssociatedObject property is missing in the Token object... What now? Did it change name? Is it a limitation? Thanks!

Hi, I have this separator and I want to make copies based on a table. I have this table: What should I put in the expression property "Copy Quantity" for him to associate the current ModelEntity with the number of copies? I only know how to do this with processes... Thanks!

Why can't we define arrays with dynamic sizes? It is is supported by many frameworks why can't Simio support it?

Hi, I'm getting this strange error with the traveling step. It is easier to show you a video of it. What improper use am I doing of these steps? I want the entity to go to Server3 then comeback to the node and then go to the Server3 again. But I get that wierd error... Thanks!

I know, the problem is that I want to do it just throught data tables. That example uses a fixed number of state variables That must be modified each time I ned to add or remove machines to the sequence, this is not scalable.

This can easily be solved if I have a way to modify the "Next Destination" variable/flag/state of an entity as soon as it arrives to my transfernode, this way I could use a process to set the next destination based on a complex decision according to some state variable in the entity.

I'm trying to implement a specific case where an entity needs the following operations: Step:Machine 1: A 2: B 3: C and D (where it can chose to do first C if the D machine is more busy, or D if machine C is more busy, but he must leave step 3 with both machines visited) 4: E 5: F What is the best way to implement this situation? I wanted to do it by inserting a state variable inside entities telling which machines it already visited or something similar. The result that I'm looking for is for a way to have this machines listed in a table , such that if I want to modify the visited machines and their order I just need to modify that table. Thanks!

Thanks for the example! I see you put the Selection Goal property as "Random", but what happens if I want it to depend on a entity's state variable, for example in my entity I have a state variable that can have the value of 1 or 2, and when it reaches that TransferNode1 I want it to decide which is that entity's destination based on that state variable. You can only use the keyword "candidate" in that property's expression, but how can I refer to the entity that is being transfered and to its state properties? Thanks!

Hi, I know about sequence tables that define a sequence from wich an entity will guide himself, but is it possible to have a sequence of something like: Order:Machine 1: A 2: B 3: C or D 4: E or even 1: A 2: B 3: C or D 4: C or D (depending on the previous choice) 5: E How can I do this? Thanks!

Its a saving grace that doesn't save disk space when I have models having 500mb of simulation data.

Because they are "garbage" files. I like to keep my folders clean and these files tend to fill up the folder a bit.

Hi, is there any way to making it stop creating .backup files? Thanks!

Hmmm, actually he didnt update the model, it works fine. What is the correct way to remove elements from a station? I can perhabs use transfer right? Can I destroy them?

Hi! I have this: Configurations are like: Then I have the station's contents being displayed in the External definitions. I can count the new entities entering the station.contents, but they don't visually appear in the queue... What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
