--If your entities represent an inventory of some type, perhaps put their information in an array or write it to a file, then destroy the entity. If necessary you could recreate from the saved information.

Is there an example or a SimBit which shows how to do this?

Thank you Dave. The second approach works fine!

[Read and Assign processing time from linked data table based on certain criteria]

Dear all,

I do have a table called machineProperties which describes properties of machines:

 

Machine | ProcessingTime | ...
machine1 | 2 |...
machine2 | 1.5 | ...

 

In my model I would like to assign the property "Processing time" to machineProperties(DisplayName;"ProcessingTime").

I guess Lookup tables might be working, but unfortunately I do not know how to link them to an Excel file.

 

Does anyone know how to do this?

 

Thank you!

Best regards,

Stefan
