  1. Hi there, I'm very much a novice, but currently leveraging the logic in VisitAllServersInAnyOrder simbit to ensure an entity visits an entity is never reworked more than once. I've updated the model entity with required state variables and created a "MyServer" to create the "HasEntityVisited" etc etc. I'm using the "Candidate.MyServer.HasEntityVisited==False" logic for the selection condition in the output node routing logic. However, whenever I run the model I get the error message "Referenced definition type "MyServer" does not match executing type "BasicNode". I've gone over and over the various elements and compared to the working simbit, but can't identify the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Garrett
  2. Hello, We are evaluating Simio and really like what we see from exploring the Simio Personal Edition. Custom Dashboards are a high priority for us and we appreciate the fact that Simio seems to allow creation of custom dashboards from within a model; however, we would like to know if Simio allows the creation of custom dashboards that are portable from model to model. For example, we would like to: Create a dashboard that displays a chart depicting activity cost per entity (for a selectable set of entities) over the simulation period. Reuse/import this dashboard into any model to display the activity cost per entity over the simulation period (for a selectable set of entities). Two questions: Is this possible with Simio? If yes, which edition(s) of Simio support this capability? Thanks in advance! Donovan
  3. Hi All,

     

    I am trying to look as to how can we create experiments with various schedules in the SIMIO experiment tab.

    Currently I am not using RPS version.

    I have created a schedules for various servers using Simio process logic and schedule table for each server.  I am able to run one schedule and see the resulting performance, but it would be interesting to see how the changes to the sequence of orders changes the performance.  How could I set up experiments to make changes to the sequences in the tables?

  4. Hello, I have a Arrival Table, but I only want to create Entities of a specific part of the Table based on a property. IntCol Entity 0 A 0 C 1 B 1 c So, the source should create all entities with a certain integer in column 'IntCol'. The integer value is assigned by a referenced property that I can experiment with different parts of the ArrivalTable For example: If Property == 0 , create only A and C in the source. How can I do that? All the best
  5. Hi all, I am wondering of there is a way to create something comparable to a"wait" resourcestate. Maybe by defining or monitoring the "waiting time" of a server. Thankyou in advance!
  6. Hi, I want to have a source that creates entities according to a date. But also, I want each entity to carry some information like Code, Processing Time and Type. It is possible to do that? And After, how I can use the information that each entity carry? For example, Each entity has their own processing time (according to the table), how I can use that procesing time in a server? Thanks for your help!!!
  7. Hi all!, would you help me with this? I want to do a discrete simulation of the current situation in a Hospital in the inpatient unit. I have the data of one year of patients, (over 18,000 people) and I want to use that data in the simulation. That would make more easy to model the server processing times, while we will use the real server times and sequences that each patient had, instead to use probabilities and distributions for the sequence and server times respectively. So, I created a table where each row represent a patient with a sequence (which bed he was assigned due to his level of acuity) and the time that he spent in that bed before he was dispatched. The are more times involve, but we can focus in those parameters to have it more simple. So, the table have the patient name (entity) ,bed (sequence) and Length of Stay in the bed (server processing time). I don't know if is possible that when I create each entity, I can assign, based on that table, the sequence and the server processing time for each patient. How I can do that? Thanks for your time and help
  8. Hi everyone, I am working on a project that has more than 2,000 different arrival distributions. The distributions are all exponential, but they all change over time. To illustrate: suppose I am modeling 30 companies around the world, each company with a group of suppliers (or clients), each supplier (or client) with a group of parts (or orders) that will be arriving in my company to be processed. Each one of these parts coming from each supplier to each company (I will call it a combination) has its own distribution that changes over time. [this is an analogy to my problem] If I had only 1 company with a few suppliers and a few parts, the natural solution would be to use Rate Tables. This would be good because I want to investigate the impact of different Rate Scale Factors (increase or decrease of arrivals) on my key performance indicators. However, as I mentioned, I have more than 2,000 different distributions. So, my main question is: does anyone have a suggestion about how to create these arrivals in an efficient manner? I am assuming creating one source and one table for each possible combination would not be efficient, as it may make the model super heavy. I have thought about two different solutions (which I am not sure if it is good and, even worse, I do not know how to implement yet). So, recommendations to any materials, SimBits or tutorials that might provide more information about my ideas are really appreciated. #1) One idea was using an object inside an object in Simio. This may reduce at least a few combinations?! However, I do not know how to model objects inside objects in Simio. #2) Letting Simio auto-create all my servers and auto-fill the information using tables. This means that I would create one source for each combination. Although this may not be computationally efficient, at least I would not have to drag and drop each one of them. But again, I am new to this auto-create object tool and I do not know how to implement it. So, I really appreciate: - any ideas on how to solve my problem in an efficient way - materials that may teach me how to solve my problem using my idea #1 or #2. Another issue is that RateTables (as far as I know) cannot be imported and binded. So, how can I input all my 2,000 columns of arrival rate data in Simio? Otherwise, my solution #2 is really bad. I have also discussed the idea of grouping the arrivals together and using TableRowReferencing and discrete distributions ("mix") to reduce the number of possible combinations. However, the team I am working with does not think this is a good idea, since each distribution change over time in a different way. So, combining them may not be very accurate. Thanks!
  9. In the source of my model, I would like to generate arrival events by looking through row by row of a given table. However, I only want to create the 2nd arrival event when all the entities of the created by the first arrival event has moved beyond a certain point, where Globalstatevalue = 0. So in my process flow, I did something like this:When the globalstatevalue = 0, I want to go to the next row of my table and generate the 2nd arrival. I did this my fire an event The setting at my source: Arrival Mode: On event Triggering Event Name: name of event that I fired in the process flow. I managed to get the initial arrival to make sure that the Globalstatevalue = 0. condition is reached. However, the 2nd event is not triggerd at all and the CurrentRowNumber is not incremented as well. May I have some advice please? Thank you
  10. Hi All, I'm currently using a old working model and copy-pasted a process from another working model. The process uses a couple of assign using ModelEntity State variables. However when I recreate them in the model where I copied the process, I can't use them I always get an error (and orange box). Those State variables were working find in the old model. Anyone knows why I can't copy them in another model ? Tks to all. Janik
  11. Hello I want to know if there is a way to create 2 different entities at the same source at the same time. I want my source to pick between 3 sets of entities when creating new entities. I have seen something similar in a simulation, where a man and woman was created simultaneously and the woman was assigned to a que while the man went to a server, but I can't find this simbit now. Please help me, thank you very much
  12. Hello Simio Forum I'm trying to create a model where I create 3 entities at the same time assign them to different routes and then batch them together again at the end of the routes. I got all the different processes at the different routes figured but i cant find a way to create the 3 different entities simultaneously. Hope that you can help, maybe the answer is obvious, thank you
  13. Hello, In my model I’ve made entity arrival mode to be On event and I’ve created an event named CommandeEvent in the Definition ==>event section. In order to action the event, I’ve created a process called ProcessEvent in which I have a decide step followed by a fire step that fire the CommandeEvent if the condition in the Decide step is respected. But when I run the model, the entities are not created. Is there something I should do differently or add ? Thank you, Flora
  14. Hi all, I'm trying to do an information network model, and I need to have hundreds of thousands of "nodes" in this model, each node would need a source, server, and maybe a sink. And the "nodes" need to be connected to each other as well. Is it possible do create such "node" automatically instead of manually creating them? And would the runtime efficiency be okay? or should I switch to other simulation software/language? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
  15. Hi guys. So, in my model, I have a table (binded to an excel file) with 2 columns - 1 indicates the real number that I want to assign to the state of an entity and the other indicates the probability of that assignment being made. So, I want to assign the values specified on the table, based on the probability also specified... Can anyone give me some hints on how to do this? Thanks.
  16. How do you customize symbols? 1) You can use the built-in Simio Library symbols and you can easily make minor changes to them (such as changing the shirt color on a person), but you are limited in the changes you can make. 2) You can use the built-in Download Symbol links to Google (Trimble) 3D Warehouse to import any of those symbols into your project. Sometimes you want to do more customizing than this. But you can still do this with the following steps. 3) You can go directly to Google 3D Warehouse (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/), select the symbols you like, and download the sketchup file to your local drive. Then you can use Sketchup to edit those symbols to meet your needs. 4) You can create your own symbol. It is pretty easy to learn enough Sketchup for simple editing. And with a little time, you can learn how to create fairly sophisticated symbols. 5) If you like the Simio Library symbols, you can start with the sketchup versions of the Simio Library, and again use Sketchup to edit them as needed. You can find these symbols at http://www.simio.com/downloads/public/SimioSketchupSymbols.zip Note that most of these are what is known as "low polygon count" (or simply "low-poly") symbols. Most of them originated from the 3D Warehouse, but have been simplified to make them smaller and faster to animate. If you want a better quality of image, see step 4. For steps 3-5 above, you can go to the Project > Symbols panel in Simio and Import Symbol, and do any final customizations before use. You can also save any of the symbols from above into your own library for use in other projects by going to the Project > Symbols panel in Simio then use the Save To Library feature.
  17. Hi! I have this: Configurations are like: Then I have the station's contents being displayed in the External definitions. I can count the new entities entering the station.contents, but they don't visually appear in the queue... What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
