  1. I am trying to load models into a licensed version of SIMIO RPS that have been created in the academic version of Simio. I am getting a meesage that states that these non-commercial models cannot be loaded into a commercial version of Simo. Is there a way to load theses non-commercial models into the licensed version of Simio RPS? I would like to be able to take advantage in using these academic models to provide solutions that we are identifying.
  2. Hello everyone, I am creating a new "customize" model and try to enable addon process, but I cannot find this option in the following list.
  3. Hi, I want to generate one type of product with one interarrival time. I have one source and one model entity. However, this entity can have different lengths following probabilities. Depending on these properties, the processing times at the servers will be shorter or longer. I tried to assign a state to the entity before this entity exits the source so ModelEntity.Length becomes DataLength.prob.randomrow. where DataLength is a table with the different lengths and the probabilities associated with those Lengths. The only thing is that it is a property and not a state, but I do not know how to do it in another way. Afterwards, I have different processing times at the servers depending on the different characteristics of my entity. For example, server1 will have different processing times depending on the length. How can I reference to the good processing time say I have added a column to the table DataLength with the associated processingtimes according to the lengths? Finally, I would also like keep track of those different lengths generated and see what the model produced in the end. Thank you for your help, Emilie
  4. Hello. I have a vehicle that moves through Top level model to Submodel. However, Entity in Submodel Could not Call the vehicle in the top level model. Thoughts as to why it gets stuck here? RideOnTransporter_In_Submodel.spfx
  5. Hi All,

    In my model, I have a transfer node and the entity could go to either of the next 2 serves as in the picture.

    I have assigned product number(1,2,3...) to entities …., if product “1” moves from transfer node to S1 and the next product is also “1”, it should also move to S1 and if the product number changes its should change the server to S2. So the entire batch gets processed on one server.

    After processing from S1 and S2 the entity should flow in batch so that at S3 I have batch production

    Right now the entities go based on “By Link Weight” and randomly goes to the server which affects S1,S2,S3 servers setup time

    Any thoughts how can that be achieved, I do not want to setup a sequence table.

  6. Hi All,

    In my Model I have a input table and while trouble shooting if I have to pick a particular order as in the below screen shot, it takes a while to search the same( I have approx. 2000 rows). Are their any efficient methods to search a particular row in table if not can this be added as a feature in Simio's next update? Right now its a drop down and then the order needs to be searched.

    Thank you.

    Regards,

    Unmesh

  8. How do I access a table column by name using a table property defined for the model? In my model, I have multiple data tables each with the same named columns defined for each. Each table has a different number of rows. For a run or a set of replications, I want to select a table to use. I have defined a model-level table property named _SelectedTable to support this. During simulation runs, I want to access this selected table's data by row and column name. Specifically, I want to use this data to update model entity state variables. I also want to stop creating entities when all of the rows of the table have been accessed. I've tried two partial solutions to this problem (attached), but neither are ideal. 1. Create a large set of decide add-on processes to choose the decide the correct table and explicitly reference it by its name. This requires a lot of redundant steps and maintenance if tables are added or removed. The attached example contains just two tables. Controls OptionId and _SelectedTable must be set to either (Option1 and tableOption1) or (Option2 and tableOption2). The first control selects the Entity Type and the second selects the Table. 2. Using the column index number instead of the column name, I found I can use the table property to access the selected table. This method is prone to error if the table schema changes. It is also unclear which table properties, such as "AvailableRowCount" are accessible via this approach. The attached example contains two tables just as the previous. The control _SelectedTable chooses which table from which data is acccessed. In practice, the data tables will be substantially larger than the ones included in the attachments. Looking forward to constructive guidance, Ryan table_selection_by_name.spfx table_selection_by_column_number.spfx
  9. Hello, I am interested in doing a simulation model with a colleague. Because of this we want to reduce the workload by dividing the tasks to be done. Is it possible or is there any way to join different files (models) into a final one? Or copy objects from one model to another? Thanks in advance.
  10. Hi All,

    I am repeatedly getting this (attached picture) error in my Simio Model, what could be the probable cause and what should I make sure so that this problem does not repeat?

    I have added transfer, end transfer step in my process logic.

    I also have made sure I have enough storage capacity and also enough vehicles to complete the transfer.

    any suggestions would be helpful.

    Thank you :)

  11. Dear Simio employee, I have two questions about 'getting' the average holding time for all the realisations of my subclassed vehicle. I want to know how long an entity is on a vehicle, on average. I tried it with two processes, but both don't work. I don't understand why the following doesn't work (process GemTijdOpAGV): And I also don't understand why the process TijdContainerOpVoertuig doesn't work. I don't understand the error: 'Model Entity does not match the model', or something like that. I created two instances of de model entity, named 'container and pallet', but it seems like I can't use model entity in some processes and in others I can. Why is that and when can you use model entity and when not? (This is also true for instances of a vehicle.) I have attached the model below, but it is still in progress. I hope to hear from you soon! With kind regards, Thomas Haven_v1 project DS model met RS en dus intelligent MTS.spfx
  12. Hi, I have several sources that create the same container entity, yet every container entity created carries out different tasks throughout the model. I would like to change properties of specific container entities, for example, each time the container entity in "lane 1" gets filled, it changes the speed of that container entity (not of all the population of container entities). How can I do this? Thank you!!!
  13. Hello! I want to make the simulation model which illustrates about the interference time about three kinds of truck. And such trucks enter the warehouse and head to the specific loading spot to do forwarding operation with one goods among four kinds. That is why interference time occur, by which I mean that I have to make model to find the most suitable spot for each goods forwarding activity by switching each spot. However I can not find the accurate properties avoiding each other objects at path, or even allocating several time delay on the situation that they encounter. Anyway, I want to see object avoid each other by decelerating its speed and calculate overall time delay at the result tab. (20 seconds per each interference) If I can apply the time delay, the kind of the object does not matter. I already tried to make the entities play a role as the truck that works mentioned above, but that trial was failed because there are no property to decelerate, or avoid at least.. I sincerely want my dear SIMIO to achieve a success in this modeling.. Thank you!
  14. Hello everyone, First time here! I'm trying to combine 2 different models in the same file, the model on the left will create the model entities (colored dots below the model) and send them to the model on the right through the node OUT2, then, on the right model, the vehicle will pick the entity and decide its destination depending on the type of entity, the issue here is that the right model can't identify the entity as it's created on another model and will be called "Model1.Entity" instead of "Entity", i don't know how to ignore the "Model1."part. I've tried to use model entity's state variables, hoping to be able to read them with the expression "ModelEntity.NameOfVariable", but i can't seem to assign values as it says that "Specified name was not found". Fusing both models in the same model it's not an option as i want to be able to make different configurations. Thanks! CONFIGURADOR.spfx
  15. Hello In my simulation model I need to scan rows for maximum value within a column, and then assign this maximum value to say a state variable so I can reference it in the responses to optimize using optquest. It would also be useful if I can add all the values within the column and use that instead for optimization. I am not quite able to figure out how to do this. Would appreciate any help in pointing me towards right direction! TIA!
  16. Hi, In my project, I have the (main) model of object type 'fixed' and a model of object type 'server'. In one of the processes executed by the model 'server', I want to add a search step that searches a specific entity in the entity population of the main model. How can I do this? Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Christa
  17. Hi SI Forum, I am a student using the student version and ran into a problem of the size of my model. I had too many objects in my model environment and needed to split my control model apart from my future conditions model. This might not have been the best approach, but it was the best way I could think to solve the issue at the time. In the model, I did use different random number streams for each random variable. My question is: how can I compare a future conditions model to a control model if they were run in separate project files? Is this possible? When looking through the outputs, all response variables are correlated in the future conditions model, but not to the control model. I've already requested a large model upgrade to help with this issue in future runs of this model. However, I'm trying to understand what's causing the difference between the models. If both models are using common random number streams for the random inputs, why wouldn't the control model response variables be correlated to the future conditions model outputs? Maybe there is a way to link the two models. Is it possible to have two models in the same project file by linking them somehow? Additionally, if you have other ideas on best practices for reducing redundancy in modeling practice, it would be great to learn from your experiences! Thanks!
  18. I was wondeing if is there any way of doing a warm up period for the model. I know that's easy to do in the experiments mode, but It whould be great to be able to do it somehow in the facility view. Any suggestions? Rds.
  19. According to the reference guide, I can attach a status label to a model entity by first choosing the model entity and the creating the status label. It works for me, but not all the time. May I know if there is a way to fix this? My simio version is 10.174 Personal Edition. Thank you
  20. I would like to refer to the BicycleAssembly Simio Simbit as I'm using it as a reference to set up my own model. As I set the Initialization step of my model, I read the Orders table row by row, using a global variable called CurrentRowNumber. However, when an order entity is created, I would like to keep track of the row in the Orders table that entity is created from with a model-entity level state variable. However, I'm not sure how to do. I cannot just assign the value of this ModelEntity.State = GlobalCurrentRowNumber as the GlobalCurrentRowNumber continuously changes as the simulation runs. May I have some suggestion as to how to do so? Thank you
  21. 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
  22. Hello, I would be glad if someone could help me with this: I have a model that contains subclassed models. I would like to apply a Calendar Schedule for the entire model in order to make the simulation run just some days per year (except from holiday etc.) and I would like to define these days in the calendar. I saw that the Schedule is usually applied to workers or vehicles, in this case it should be applied to the model. Is it possible? Thanks in advance
  23. Hi. I need help with my model regarding conditional routing. The intention with conditional routing for my model is that the entities keep choosing Server1 until the entities in queue exceed 3. Then they must choose Server2 until Server2 > 3. However, I have made a sequence-based model and I don't know how to put the conditional routing as a part of their sequence route.
  24. As we approach our final stage of our bachelor studies, it is necessary to write a bachelor thesis. In this context we are developing a Simio Plugin, which enables advanced model-management and more important, model-comparison. Our main objective is to provide the Simio Community a properly working Plugin, which improves the modelling process itself and the usability within large Simio-projects. What could you expect? Functionality We separate the plugin in two logical components. The first one is called Modelmanagement. The features of this component are the following: • Versioning models • Clone an existing model The interesting part on this feature is the clone mechanic. You are now able to create an identic clone of an existing Simio-model, which can be altered afterwards. This functionality is key to the comparison process. With this clone-function, each clone now represents a version of your base-model. The clones can be altered autonomically. It enables to test and experiment with the behavior of your model, without many workarounds. It may help you to even optimize your model. The second and more focused feature is the ModelComparer. Once you are done cloning and altering your models, this feature helps you to compare several experiments. The comparison isn’t only limited to experiments within one model, you can compare all the cloned experiments as well. Our model-comparison compares responses of several, different experiments. You can now compare all your clones to determine which one is the most efficient. What are we delivering at this point and why? Attached to this post you can find several files. To ease the installation and setup process of the Plugin, we also created an installer. The installer will setup the required changes and files for our Plugin. It is easy to use and enables the full functionality, like a normal software-installer. Second, we wrote a short manual to show you the features of the Plugin and illustrated it with pictures. Our goal is to gahter feedback as early as possible. Currently, we are in the middle of development and are eager to improve the tool even more. We ask you for your feedback, because it is very important for us to find out, if the tool is viable, how its usability is and if the provided functionality is even appreciated within the community. As we mentioned we are halfway through the development-process, the possibility is given, that some bugs or errors may occur. We also would be very pleased if you could take the time to report these and your experience with the tool and fill in the online survey. Your feedback is very appreciated!

  25. Hey, guys. Quick question: Can a vehicle from a model enter another model within the same project? I have a warehouse as a parent model and I need my forklift (vehicle) to enter another model while carrying an entity. I tried setting a transporter reference property, but without much success. Any sugestions? Thanks.
