Hi guys, I stopped working on my model some weeks ago and now that I restarted my work I noticed that all the Decides on my model were cleared - the decide property is set to "0.0" in all of them! The only think that I can think of is that after these non work weeks gap I did a Simio update - I think it was to the latest version. Can somebody help me retrieve my model with the deciedes? Or help me in any other way? Please, this is very urgent...

No help?

Any help?

Hi guys. I'm starting a new project that consists on modelling elevator shafts. There can be many shats that transport clients through many floors. Something similar to "Simple Elevator Object" SimBit. To model the "inteligence" of my shaft, I must be able to delay some entity requests that in other circunstances could be prior requests. In other words, I must be able to "replace" the inteligence of the shaft with different algorithms I develop. Therefore, I am not sure if the elevator should be a vehicle. Alternatively, I could implement the elevator as an entity. This way, I would have more flexibility to implement my algorithms. However, to implement it as an entity, I must also model some situations that are proper to the vehicle object. As such, I am very hesitant on what approach should I adopt. Can somebody share some hints with me, please? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply Petr Tulach. I've already emailed you :) I would like to add some information that I did not state on the original post. Thus, I would like to emphasize that, to update the layout of a single model, I have to delete all the objects on its Facility and then create them anew. The simple process of deleting all the models can take hours! Sometimes, it takes more time to delete them all than to create a new warehouse (I can't understand this). Thus, I have 2 processes each 1 consuming more that 1 hour! All of this, just to update the logic of all the other Simio files I have that are using the same logic... Isn't there a better way to do this? So, I really would apretiate some help, even if it is just to tell me that there is no alternative to what im currently doing (at least I would know I have to do it this way, unfortunately)

Thanks :) That helped alot :)

Hi guy. So I've been struggling with this for a long time now... Basically I have developed a model that simulates a company warehouse.. Originally this was supposed to be for a single company, but now the project has evolved and the tool is now capable of modelling the warehouse of many companies. But there is one problem... The logic of the model works for any of the companies. However, the layout (which is automatically created through an add-in I developed) has to be created for each case. So each time I have to alter the model I chose one of the models, make the changes and then I have to create all the layouts again [b]to apply the changes to the remaining models[/b]... this is very tiring and time-consuming. Nonetheless, the only alternative I could come up with was to make the changes on all the models which is unpractiable. Previously I had already created a topic (http://www.simio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2069) where i was already foreseeing this problem. However, I still don't know what would be the best strategy to adopt, so I was hoping someone could give me some advice on how to proceed. Many thanks.

Some directions please? I'm really having trouble with this... Thanks

Some help please? Thanks

Hi! I'd like to update a previous problem I've had in this topic -> http://www.simio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2079 The problem is basicaly the same. The provided solution was to create an entity and have it seize the worker, so that he'd go to another place and do something. However, now I face a situation in which the worker on idle has to help another worker that is being seized by an entity in a server, in order for the process time to decrease. So now the possibility of creating an entity and have it seize the worker cannot be used. Any help?

Any help?

Hi everyone. Is it possible to Combine members and a parent based on more than one state? Can anyone tell me how is this done? If not, what would be the best alternative? Thanks

Hi guys. As the subject says I'm looking for a way to to be able to set the start and end data of the simulation run. While searching for alternatives I was only able to find this similar issue on this forum: http://www.simio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2054&p=6659&hilit=start+time+end#p6659 However, I think that just setting the length of the run would not solve my problem, because the inputs of the model I'm working on rely on specific dates that can vary very much, depending on the data that's given to me by the companies. So are there any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks for the solution :)

Hi everyone. I want a worker to perform an action if he does not have any seize requests. I've uploaded an example of what i'm trying to achieve. Basically I want the worker to go to TransferNode1 and execute PerformIdleAction process whennever he doesn't have any entity, on either server1 or server2, requesting a ride from the worker. I've tried to do this by checking the ResourceState variable of the worker and the Capacity.Allocated (http://www.simio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&hilit=worker%20busy&p=4154&t=1378), but my problem seems to be that I don't know how or when to check these states... I think a good way would be to have an add-on process OnIdle or something like that, so i'm having problems with this. Hope anyone can help me. Thanks
