Extracting Calendar Attributes from TimeNow Variable
dsturrock replied to amunoz's topic in SI General Discussions
Good advice Steve, One minor correction: Simio returns a date with a 4 digit year, so you would actually have to use: String.Substring(String.FromDateTime( TimeNow ),1,10) to get the date in a MM/DD/YYYY format To get months of the year would be (color added to highlight components): String.ToReal(String.Substring(String.FromDateTime( TimeNow ),1,2)) Of course if you wanted something simple like hour of day, you could take advantage of TimeNow being in hours and use a numeric expression like: Math.Remainder (TimeNow, 24) If you want to limit the precision add use of the Math.Floor or Math.Round functions like: Math.Floor(Math.Remainder (TimeNow, 24 )) to display integer hour or Math.Round(Math.Remainder (TimeNow, 24 )*100)/100 to display hundredths of hours. Note that all of these can be used in Status Labels and Floor Labels as in the attached example.IllustrationOfTimeFormats.spfx You can see more examples if you look at the Floor Labels in the Simio Example named HospitalEmergencyDepartment. -
Hello, I am wondering what exactly the two methods initialize() and shutdown() are for? When are they called by Simio, especially in the context of running experiments, scenarios and replications. What is the difference between the element's constructor and the initialize() method. What are examples for using the two methods? Thanks Nicolas
