[Export Import Model Using A Text File]

yeah, excel lets you import this files with other delimiters, go to Data Menu, Import From Text, then next and in delimiter define"|" in "other",

hope this helps

[Export Import Model Using A Text File]

hi... on another note, when exporting a file, I have to manually create the blank txt file before exporting, or is it just me_

is there a way of making the addin create the txt automatically if it doesnt exist?

thanks!

[Export Import Model Using A Text File]

nice!, thank you!

this is perfect since i can interface this with a python program, edit away there and then come back and import it, amazing stuff!

similar to the excel import but plain text files are always nicer,

[Crane Library - Bridge and Underhung bridge cranes]

This is a very cool library, i have built two very simple examples to test before using it in a simulation in which they will represent Ship to Shore Cranes.

First of all, it took me a moment to figure out that "entity destination" on my home node for the crane has to be set to "specific", can this work using "continue" ?

Now, on attached example 1, the Crane picks the entity and will wait for an available vehicle to make the transfer, building a queue in the home node for the crane if there is no available vehicle. This is great since it reflects what happens in the actual operations, the crane waits for a truck to be below the crane to drop the container.

But there may be interest in simulating the crane dropping the entity into the floor and just keep unloading the ship, this means i now want to drop the entity without the vehicle being available.

Is it possible to control this behaviour at will? I was looking for the option of an input buffer of some sort but for now I just add a normal node and allow the crane to drop it there it will build a queue waiting for the vehicle, this can be seen on example 2, I appreciate any ideas,

also, I tried scaling the elements and it gave me an error on height, so I was wondering what should i take into account when scaling (changing size) of this elements? I will take a screenshot next time I encounter the error.

finally, I will be using this element in my simulation, and i was wondering what are the thoughts on "tulach" question:

"5.) Crane and other crane components do generate a lot of data in trace. It would be nice to have possibility to swich this off just for some steps inside crane and co. I used it in a model that has a simulation time of 1 month and this made my trace impossible to filter and analyse."

thanks
