I want to calculate the idle time of the worker in different time windows throughout the week. For example I want to get data regarding the idle time of my workers from 7 am to noon and noon to 5 pm in weekdays and 7 am to noon in weekends. Does anyone know how I can get this data and save all the idle times in different time windows?

Great. Thank you for your explanation.

Thank you so much for your reply. But in my Simio, there is no "worker.ridestation.contents" option in Queue State Name. The only available options are: worker.allocationQueue worker.batchmemeber worker.batchmemeber.volume worker.batchmemeber.volume.rate worker.batchmemeber.wight worker.batchmemeber.wight.rate worker.visitrequestqueue

I am not sure how I can search the content of a ridestaton.I do not see this feature in the search step. In general, I wanted to use a decide step and decide whether the ride (entity) on the worker has a specific state variable and based on that change the speed of the worker. But I can not access the ride on the worker. I thought it should be easy but I do not see the option.

Hi I am using a worker as a transporter as well as a service provider at one server. I want to know how I can access the worker ride when the worker is transporting someone. For example assume the worker is transporting one entity on a path, I want to create a process for the worker that enters the path, and get access to the ride of the worker (the entity which is currently riding using the worker). Any help is appreciated. Thanks;

My problem is that the set of workers should do a test on the patients and then clean the room and finish the final paper works. From the simulation, I want to see in what days of the week and what times of the day, the number of workers does not match the demand. (see in what window thought out the week workers are more busy and people experience more waiting time, or workers are less busy). I am thinking to define some states to save the total time which the worker where busy in a specific window. Or save the wait time of each patient in specific time windows. I want to have access to all the saved values at the end. For example if 1700 patients are generated and 500 of them are served in weekends; I want to see the waiting time of all those 500 patients in the weekends. So I am not looking for a single number. I am looking for some specific state values related to each patient or worker. And dependent on the definition of the state (which time frame it is focused on), I will save it in specific time frames. I am not sure how I can do that. Any help is really appreciated.

How I can define a state variable only for the workers. For example if I want to check whether the worker had his lunch break or not. I am creating a dummy entity as lunch and it will call workers based on some schedule. I want to make sure the entity calls some worker which did not have lunch yet. How can I do that? The lunch entity will seize a worker from a list, however there should be a condition that makes sure the worker did not had lunch before. Note that I do not want to model this my setting the lunch hour in the off-shift period. The worker should be on shift and a lunch entity will seize the worker for one hour. There are 5 workers. 3 of them will have lunch from 12 to 1 and 2 of them from 1 to 2. I am creating 3 entities at 12 and 2 at 1. They should seize the workers and make sure they did not have not been seized for lunch before.

thanks. I defined a state variable and it worked.

Assume an entity is assigned to a table. So there is a row number associated to each entity from the table. Using a process for the entity, how I can get reference to the row number of that entity in a table. I will create a new entity later and I want to assign the same row number to the new entity. I know I can do the later one with "setRow" step. But I do not know how to find the row number on the fist place.

I am using search process to search among TableRows of a data table. I am setting the math condition as follows: tablename[candidate.object].columnname == Modelentity.timecreated But I am getting the following error: Invalid 'candidate' reference, no candidate is set for the token. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I am using a table with two columns, first is the arrival time of the entity and the second is the property. The first column is used as the arrival times (one entity per row). In other words I should set the row for each entity which indicated the arrival time and the property. But I could not find a way to do that. I can use the first column to create the entities using "Arrival table" in the source. But then I can not make sure the specific row which was used to create that entity is assigned to it. If I know how to do that, then I know how to set the property using state definition. Thanks

Thank you. I am not sure where to find Appointment Arrivals SimBit.

I am using arrival table to create my entities inside my simulation. So I am importing a column indicating the arrival time of all my entities; inside my data I also have property associated with each entity (exam type in an ultrasound clinic). I want to use that column as well and attache the associated property to each entity created. I am not sure how to do that. Also I want to use that property in another table and assign processing time distributions for each property (maybe defining the column as a key might help but I am not sure ). I appreciate any help.

Hi I am defining a state variable. How can I see the value of that state variable at the end of the simulation in the results? Thanks
