You need to re-assign the x and z coords of the node during run time (i.e. Node.Location.X and Node.Location.Z).... Best way to do this is with a table with an object reference property.....

It can indeed...Have a look at the jib crane library as well...there are numerous ways in which the robot can be constrained....if you need help to alter it...send me a pm....

Entity Exiting a Queue when a releasing condition changes
MEagar replied to Alicia's topic in SI General Discussions

If the person who gave you training did not tell you about the simbits (See Attached), I would suggest to ask for your money back....
-
Set the buffers to zero...instead of using specifi time for processing, utilize task sequences and set the processing type property to process...I would then look to an add on process to check the stay post a delay.... Note their is a better way to do this with freespace routing, yet I think you will find that more challenging.

Look towards the simbits under the support tab. Specifically the datatables simbits will show you how best to interact.

Reference Workstation Secondary Resources
MEagar replied to pprates17's topic in SI General Discussions
There is definitively a better way to approach this, yet it would require substantial changes to the existing top and sub model. A detailed understanding of table Schemas and repeat groups will set you on the right path. As a quick work around, yo want an Object Reference property of Type Object placed within your submodel. In the main model, you need to place the name of the Secondary Resource which it may use. Send me your email in PM then we can do a quick screen share and I can show you if you dont come right.- 3 replies

So I have a rather complex issue that needs to be resolved basis multiple entities in a wait block. I think this is actually the first decent use I have found for a storage queue as it seems to allow me to shuffle the entities within the wait block, basis entry and exit ranking rules. I can then just use the condition in the wait block to match the specific or subset of entities that adhere to the condition in the storage queue (see attached)

Hi Luu. If this is help for the Simio Student Competition, it kinda defeats the purpose for us to assist you.
-
Very Interesting as I am grappling with the exact same issue at this point in time.... In short the answer lies in the condition (see attached)...If you are looking for the first entity to be released in the queue, the screenshot will work....Still looking at how to select specific entities and will let you know once I have figured it out....

Store Entities During Processing (Combiners in Series)
MEagar replied to Mike@CFAN's topic in SI General Discussions
Oh so you need to use an add on process to set the memberinputbuffer to zero, once a parent entity has entered the processing station. Remember to re-assign the capacity to 4 once processing has completed. As you are using paths, it would be good to set there capacity to 0 and 1 during the same process as to keep the member entities in the output buffer. Hope this helps. -
Search the entity whom needs to be reassigned a priority, and use an assign block to give entity.priority a new value. Hope this helps.

Trick is to disable to timer, and re-enable it. That should rest the time interval. Also, have a look at the available levers for the timer element.
-
Cant open your model... use a monitor element and set the condition to i.e. 75% of processing time...catch the process and seize the required resources with a move the objects...be sure to reserve the resources (block) upon arrival.... You will need to take your resources assignments out of the task sequences as currently defined. I am online today if you want me to have a look.

Question in item appear in Entity Workflow on Planning tab
MEagar replied to htatton's topic in SI General Discussions
So the first BIG no no is your use of WorkStations instead of Servers....Simio is looking to phase out workstations so I would suggest to change those back to servers....(i.e. right click and select "Convert To Type"). If I am not mistaken...its your Keys and relational setup of the tables that are causing your issues...i.e....the "display name" is not referencing the table you think it is refrencing.... Try adding some groupings and you will see what I mean....Hit F1 and read up on how to do that.... Also....Make sure you set this to True, and understand what it does....It will mitigate the need for creating processes as you did.... -
Any chance anyone knows how to access or circumvent the Route Requests Triggers of the default Routing Group within a node ??
-
May I suggest to stop using paths. You will find free space is a better approach.

Two sequences going on at the same time?
MEagar replied to rmonillas's topic in SI General Discussions
Right so this is something that I have found Simio does really well... What you are after are list state variables...They work like PLCs...i.e....each variable accounts for each second of the simulation run time. The idea is to just through the entity into different states, and Simio will automatically record all the output statistics. This is similar to the resource state variable of a server. -
Yeah I will caution you against your approach as it is the entity's Destination property that resides in the the transporter's ride queue which dictates the transporters steering behavior. I will subsequently leave that entity in the ride station. If you need the transporter to pickup more than one entity, simply increase its capacity.

A worker may be assigned a work schedule similar to that of a server or vehicle. I would just leverage the default logic by throwing the worker into an Off shift State. There are numerous options as to how assign a work schedule. From your problem description, a Table Based Schedule may be more optimally suited.
