[Multiple entities arriving at exactly 8am each day.]

You might want to look into Arrival Tables. See the following screen grabs.

Configure the source to create entities based on the arrival table as follows:

 

Setup the arrival table to define the arrival time and the number of entities per arrival as follows:

[Record Statistics Per Entity Throughout Simulation]

Hi,

 

See attached model that uses an output table to log information on each entity. You could just as easily you an ExcelWrite/Write Step to do the same thing.

 

Cheers,

Hi,

Your issue is that Input@STBR_01_54 is a reference to a Simio object. You want to write out the string name of the object. You should use Input@STBR_01_54.Name

[Tracking Segmented Entity with Camera]

Hi,

Have an issue relating to trying to track a segmented entity with the camera. I've attached a very simple model that demonstrates the problem. As soon as i set the draw type to 'Segemented' the camera tracking just doesn't work.

 

One possible solution i am aware of is to simulate the segmented object as individual entities. In the context of what i'm trying to do this creates a lot of additional complexity that i don't want to address.

 

Any other bright ideas?

 

Thanks,

Lucas

[Modeling a No-Fly Zone]

I've attached a small model that demonstrated a very simple example of the behavior you're after. The entities divert in only 1 dimension (X). The entities periodically recheck (every second) whether they've crossed a defined X threshold. When they cross the threshold they divert in the Y direction in either a positive or negative direction (using Random.Discrete) and then resume course towards the destination.

 

Hope this is helpful.
