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

Hi SI We are currently doing a project on queueing systems at Uni, and our tool of analysis is Simio. This means that i am quite new at using SIMIO, but i will try to explain the problem the best i can. We are building a system of a recycling center, simulating queues in the different lanes. I attatched a screenshot. We need to set the condition that the entities need to use at least one of the lanes, ContainersLane1, ContainersLane2 or GardenWaste, meaning the entities cannot drive directly through the recycling center through the lanes, but i do not know how to do so. Would anyone be able to tell me how set this condition/create this process? Kind regards, Aksel, Aalborg University

Hello, i have a project in which i must send an entity to a node, i was reading that this is possible using seize or planning a visit using the entity as resource from the destiny but i need that the entity just go to the destination i want, is this possible? any idea would be of great help Pd: the entity is based on transporter class

Hello, I have a data table with 900 total entities, comprised of 10 different types of entities. I am trying to randomize which entities go through the model, but I need all 900 to go through. I've tried the "entity mix" technique, but it always overloads my model with too many entities. Does anyone have an idea of how to go about this? I want to run a series of experiments with a random selection of entities for each replication. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance! -Mario -
Hi Simio Is there a way to make a workstation not use resources when it is failed? The resources it was using at the point of failure will then need to be reallocated after it is fixed. Best Kevin

Hi, Currently modeling 2 assembly lines that are identical. They have 1 source that sends Batches of Segments. How our system works is that 1 order has multiple batches, so to identify them, we added the same order number to them. https://imgur.com/a/V971F Even though the 2 assembly lines have the same machines, they operate different batches, which can be identify by the diameter of the order. If Orders are "= N" they will go to Assembly line 1 and 2. If Orders are "=Y" they can only go to Assembly line 1. I'm using a transfer node to distribute the batches into the two assembly lines to maintain max usability in both lines. The path that are from the Source to the first server and from the Transfer Node to the first server have the diameter constraints. https://imgur.com/a/9h7Kp The problem I'm facing is that the transfer node seems to be separating orders that have the same number to both lines. For example order 1234 has 10 batches, 5 are going to line 1 and 5 are going to line 2. I need, per customer request, to have all batches with the same order number be processed by the same line. Is there a way to constrain the transfer node to keep Orders with the same number together? or a Add-on Process that will allow me to do so? -
Hi Simio, Is it possible to model a block of raw material being turned into a part and swarf? I.e. a single part entity being split into two different part entities? Thanks Kevin -
I'm currently working on a model that has four entities that are going through two different servers and in each server this entities have different process time. I try to set up a table but I was not successful at it. I currently have the 2018 SIMIO version. Attached is my model. can some please help me to figure this out. 5X7 CELL STUDENT PROJECT.spfx -
Im creating a model that has different entities and it has to go two different servers. The problem have is that each entity has different process time at each server. Can someone please help me? I try setting up table and it did not work. Thanks.

Hi to all! I am currently working on a project in which it would be desirable to show a container yard with stacked container entities, limited up to 5 containers per column of stacked entities. I have worked with queues associated to both servers and storage/station items, and found that it is possible to emulate what I want to do, but that the height of every single container must be defined by a hand-drawing process, which is a time-consuming task. Is there a way to create a container yard and to define it's properties? I have read in the forums some answers to similar problems stating that "a storage element will suffice", but it seems to me that I am failing to see how to manifest physically in the model the container yard with the restrictions mentioned above (at most I have been able to show the contents of the storage/station element on a queue line). Any hints, tips, or comments would be deeply appreciated. Cheers!

Hi, I´m looking for a solution, that a source can create different entities (Part A, B and C) in a certain order (and then repeat it, not based on random). For Example: 1st Arrival Part A, 2nd Arrival Part B, 3rd Arrival Part C, 4th Arrival Part A (and so on). Is there an opportunity to realise this? I tried to use a data table, but probably I missed a necessary step. Thank you for helping. Chris -
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

Hello, I am very new to Simio and still learning. I have 2 different entity types, Long and Short. I have a source which goes to any of 2 available workstations, no restrictions needed here. Those 2 workstations then need to send their processed entities (randomly Long or Short) to 2 other workstations, Saw A and Saw B. If the entity is Long, it absolutely must go to Saw A, if it is the Short entity, it must prioritize Saw B, but if Saw A is available and Saw B is in use, it should go to A. How can I do this? Thanks in advance. Samuel

Hello. Is there a somewhat simple way to delay the start of a server until a fixed number of entities are in queue? If I have a server with a capacity of 6, and I want it to process 6 at a time, thus not starting before 6 entities have accumulated in the queue. How would I go about doing this? Thanks. -
Hello. I am trying to model the brewing process of a local brewery. They have 8 different types of beer, 6-30 barrel fermentation tanks and 4-15 barrel fermentation tanks. Each "job" is 15 barrels, therefore if two "jobs" are the same type of beer, they may brew together in a 30 barrel tank. 15 barrel jobs can still brew in 30 barrel tanks, they just cant mix with an unlike entity. I am relatively to simio, so please if you can explain in simplified terms that would be good. I need to know how to make sure that only identical entities brew at the same time within a 30-barrel tank. If the beer already in the fermenter does not match the beer that is coming into the fermenter, then it needs to be blocked and sent to another open fermentation tank. Any help is greatly appreciated...same rules apply for 30-barrel brite tanks (the next step after the fermentation tanks)

I'm trying to initialize a model with over a 100,000 entities of the same type. However, when I do so, I get a warning "the number of active entities in the simulation has exceeded 20,000 objects". If I continue, Simio basically crashes after a few minutes. I tried to scale everything down by a factor of 1000, but then when I try to create entities in quantities < 1, it doesn't seem any entities get created. So my question is how do I balance out the need to have 100,000+ entities and the need to be able to create new ones on a much smaller scale (10s for example). Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi, I have a problem with entities in the queue. The process is in the MemberInputBuffer of a Combiner and I have to create different materials for each entities in the queue. So I put in the process a search step searching for entities and then other steps (assign, delay etc) to go to other tables to create the materials related to each specific entity. The problem is in the first search because in “collection type" I have written “entity population” and in “entityType” there is the reference to a table with all the entities in the system. I need to search only the entities in the queue of MemberInputBuffer (and now the steps search all entities in the system) but I'm not able to find the right "match condition" to restrict the search only to the queue. Can you help me? thank you Best Regards Irene

My model assigns capacity of 8 to a server. Two types of Entities arrive...A and C. Before each entity is processed, I am assigning the server's process time using two different random distributions, one for A types and another for C types. My question is whether or not the processing times for any 8 entities in the server at a given time will process to different process times? Or, will the process time of the last entering entity reset the process time for the others that are already in the server? -
Hi I have created a subclass of Entity and named it AgentBase. My new Entitytype AgentBase contains a station and a queue which is showing the content of the station. I have added a process OnCreated which is creating two additional AgentBase-Object and transfer the additional to the station. I have now two problems: - There is only one entity shown in the queue with the contents of the station - instead the two. I want to show all in a line. - The showing entity in the queue have the wrong direction I have added my project where you can see the problems. Hopefully someone can help me. Thank you. Best Regards Thomas AgentLibrary.spfx

How do you define a new state variable for an entity type? I mean here the things that arrive and travel through he model (they would be temporary entities in SIMSCRIPT II.5, transactions in GPSS/H, workpieces in Simul_. I have consulted the online help, and gone through the SimBits that looked as if they should be relevant, but cannot find an answer anywhere. I am attempting the embarrassingly simple task of randomly assigning a priority, 1..3, to an entity on arrival into the model, and later having them queue FIFO within priority class for service. As I do not need dynamic priority I expect a parameter would do instead of a state, but either way I cannot find how to perform the simple task of defining a field for an entity class. Once that is done I expect assigning to it should be easy. All the best, John. -
Hello, I have a DataTable that one source can use to create multiple entities. I would like these entities to be named properly. Instead the just come out named ent.11XX (a random four digit number starting with 11). Here is my table, I would like the entities to be the name of the TwiggPN. (Each row produces a different entity):

Daniel, Dave is right, the HourlyStatistic simbit includes the logic what u want. I realised that I have missed some assignments. see the attached file for what u want. Periodicals.spfx

Hi I have a situation where we receive applications only during week days. I have a source with a Rate Table but this only allows me to add the rate per day. The end result is that I am receiving the same number of applications over weekends as what I am receiving during the week. This results in servers being overloaded and queues building up. I would like to have the entities arrive during the 5 days of the week and not over Saturdays and Sundays. I would appreciate your help, although I suppose the answer is very simple. I have not used Simio for a few years and I am trying to get back into it. CG

Hello, Is it possible to change the state of just the entities while they are on a transporter? Because now i get an error when I put an add-on process to change the state of the entities going throug the node because simio tries to change the state of the transporter too. Thanks for the help, would really appreciate it!
