I need to build a simulation of a train maintenance workshop. Each of the trains are entering and exiting the workshop with always the same daily schedule (day-hour-minute). I have set up two arrival tables (one for train arrival, the other for train departure) which trigger two timers, and it works well. My current problem is that the simulation should now run over 1 year (simulation time). The arrival table is expecting a time AND a date, and I am looking for a smart solution to avoid writing repeatedly the same schedule for the 365 days of the year in an Exel file. Thanks for your suggestions

Hello Everyone, I would like to use patient daily arrivals to the ED. I have daily totals, but I want them to follow a pattern (eg. at midnight the arrival is much less than during noon). I am trying to include future forecasts (my forecasts are daily forecasts and not hourly) and this is why I need to somehow input daily numbers into rate table but also make it follow the pattern. Would really appreciate help with this! Thank You! Best regards, Sumanth

Hello Thank You for your help, i was able to implement it!! I have a slight snag though, in the rate tables it only allows me to enter arrival events per hour. I have daily sum of arrivals (say x). If i assume mean arrivals per hour are the same and use the typical sum(x)/24, the model underestimates the total arrivals per day. I understand that simio uses exponential distribution to randomly genrate a number. Do you have any suggestion for me to retrieve arrivals per hour from daily arrivals to input into simio? Thank You!

Hello Martin, Thank you so much for your help! It worked Brilliantly. I have another question, I want to incorporate patient daily arrivals to the ED. I have daily totals, but I want them to follow a pattern (eg. at midnight the arrival is much less than during noon). I am trying to include future forecasts (my forecasts are daily forecasts and not hourly) and this is why I need to somehow input daily numbers into rate table but also make it follow the pattern.
