more equvalent serves bound with one table

I think we need some additional information. When you say you have "real data" do you mean that you have samples of processing time? If so, from that you would normally fit a distribution our use a table-based Input Parameter to draw from. You say that Servers 1-4 are identical and Servers 5-7 are identical. It might be easiest to model that as ServerA of capacity 4 and ServerB of capacity 3. Depending on what data you want to have in the table, it could be seven separate tables, or two tables (for the groups of servers) or most likely just one table with a row for each group of servers. You need to more clearly state your objectives and what you want to control, but it sounds like you will want to put some type of selection rule at the source output (to see where the entity goes next). Depending on your system and objectives you might want to have a custom routing group used at the output node of each server to determine which entity is selected next for server8. -
This model is for a simulation of waste haulage. The model has two types of trucks. One big and one small running to different speeds through the same path. Because of the size of the trucks (capacity), the big truck is going to have more delay time in the resource compared to the small one. This is cyclical process where the truck is loaded, then the truck transport the load and last the truck unload and return to the resource to be loaded again. In the model I am assuming that the entities are the loads. The entity requests any truck available coming after release the load. Then, any truck (big or small) take the load to the unloading area. Now, the time this entity is going to use the resource (loader) depends on the type of the truck, so this entity is going to take more time in the resource area in a big truck. how could I make this simulation in Simio? is it possible to have resources with different time depending on the entity? I was using other software with no success so far.
