  1. 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.
  2. I have a multiple combiners into which a single worker provides entities. While the worker is at a specific combiner, I want to check if that combiner's output buffer is full. I'd prefer not to create a separate process for each combiner as I have dozens. How do I code the process so that it is generic and that 1 process can work for any combiner? I'm hoping this is an easy question. Sorry if it's obvious. Thanks for your help.
  3. Hi All, I want to do some calculations just before the simulation ends. I did it previous versions without problem but now on version 15.247, "on run ending" add-on process is not being executed.I tested it even on a new simple model file with source server sink. There is just two assign steps with breakpoints on the add-on process. But in model trace it doesnt show the add-process name, the state variable value is not assigned, and breakpoint is not reached. Anyone experiencing the same problem in this version? Is there a quick solution to this? Or do I have to install older version? Kind regards, Tolgahan

  6. Hello, I have the following situation, I have a source followed by 3 servers in parallel. These servers are then connected to a fourth server, which finally leads to the sink. The thing is I need that the 3 first servers must hold the entity (stay blocked) until the fourth server is free. Additionally, if one of the 3 servers in parallel has capacity available, this one must stay blocked until de fourth server finishes its process. I attached the model I made, and the main problem are the three servers in parallel which are staying blocked after the first entity pass through. Thanks in advance block.spfx

  8. I am building a model where I need to use relational data tables to create objects and elements due to the large size of the model. I found helpful resources to guide me when it comes to auto-creating objects and elements (Simio Help Guide, SimBits, and Examples). But for some reasons I couldn't find resources that address directly the topic of process logic design in data-driven models. There is one particular example that's very relevant to my case. This example is MultiEchelonSupplyChain that comes with Simio (in Simio: Support > Examples > MultiEchelonSupplyChain). This example is solved using two approaches. The second one (the data-driven approach) is the one I'm interested in. In the accompanying PDF file that explains the technical details of the example, it does not explain the differences in process logic design. For example, how do I define triggering events? Some of the processes in this example have no triggering events. If you know of a resource that explains designing processes for data-driven models, please share. Thanks.
  9. Hi All, is there a way to make the server waiting for two (or any defined number) entities to begin the processing? I would like the server to begin processing only when two entities has arrived. Then the two entities leaves the server at the same time, and other two begin being processed. Can I do it without defining a process?
  10. Hi, I need to execute a process only during three hours per day, but I cannot use the timer because It just represent a point in time and I need a period of time Someone can recommend me an simbit, or give me some advice in topic Thanks in advance
  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. I am trying a simple assembly process where 2 entities are to be assembled to create a 3rd Entity. Hence I need to destroy 2 entities arriving at the server and create 3rd pre-defined entity. Can someone please help with how this can be achieved?
  13. Hi, I have used the SimBit "InterruptibleOperator" where i have set the process time on the servers to be a fixed one (200 sec at server 1 and 300 sec at server 2). I have further more changes the Interarrival time on source1 to be 1 day and the entities per arrival to 50. The Interarrival time on source2 to be 1 day and the entities per arrival to 100. (Look at the linked file) Then when i checked the process time on the server in results it was not 200 sec and 300 sec as had set it to in the server. I think the operator is the one to blame for this, but how can i get the right result in results? I have tryed to remove the operator and the process connected to it, and then i got the right process time. I however still need the operator, so need a solution to get the process time and keep the operator. InterruptibleOperator - process time - resultat1.spfx
  14. Hi, I'm currently working on the attached model, and currently i have a lot of trouble on making the two operators prioritize the B2C entities. I hope that somebody can help me fix this issue. Just a brief rundown of the model: each day freight arrives at 8.00 and this triggers the sources for B2C and B2B to feed a number of entities, with a corrosponding distribution into the system. Upon the entities arrival to the two "AT-servers" the two operators should prioritize the completion of all B2C entities, before moving to ATB2B. If new entities arrives at the ATB2C server, and the operators is situated at ATB2B, they should interrupt that process and focus on ATB2C. The prioritizing and interruption is based on the simbit: InterruptibleOperator.spfx Best regards Kasper MySimio.spfx
  15. New to Simio and learning as I go. The attached model includes a CombinerNode1 that batches entities in groups of 2 & 5 (random.discrete). I would like Server1 to use different processing times for the different batch sizes. For example, a batch of 2 entities should be processed in 5 seconds; Batches of 5 entities in 7 seconds, etc.. Eventually I will create batches of up to 6 entities. I have tried using Server1.Processing.Contents for Processing Time, but seems to return the value of 1 all times. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! Processing time based on BatchSize.spfx
  16. I have a series of gated processes that are defined in a sequence table. Occasionally sequential gates will use the same server. In our process, the entity doesn't actually move out of the server, but in Simio the entity has to exit the server and re-enter. What winds up happening is that if another entity is queuing for that server, it will enter first during the approximately 2 seconds it takes for the entity to travel from the output node to the input node , causing the entity that was in the server to queue. I would like the entity to stay in the server through multiple gates, according to the routing logic, without getting bumped by other entities in the queue. It's important to keep the gates separated instead of combining them into a single entry on the routing table, because I need to look at performance statistics for each gate separately. Thank you
  17. Hi All, It's been a while since I have last used Simio and I have an issue that I think should be simple. I have two entities running on a production line, one gets processed by a server and the second entity type moves through the same server almost like a conveyor with no processing. I can work around this by adding another conveyor around the server, but in real life the product does flow through this server and eats at it's capacity. Is there anyway to set up different processing times for multiple entity types on a server? Thanks, Brendan
  18. Heya, I am experiencing some difficulties, with something that I would like to model. In short I would like to model the following: One road going from A to B by using a source and a Sink. Only trucks (entities) will be on this road, and they will be able to notice which truck is the most nearby. The truck is looking for another nearby ruck to group up with, and will try to form a couple, "Truck Platooning". Until one of them decides to make a turn to a different destination (passes a node, and decides to move to a different sink). During this time the following truck will safe fuel and thus costs. At the moment I am quite stuck with the following. I would like to make use of the find step and vectors. But there are not that many examples around on how to properly use them. I would like to let the entities update their location.x every second in the vector. Meanwhile the entities will use the findstep to find the nearest entitiy, and select this entity to 'catch-up' with. How do I make a list of these entities, and keep updating their location?
  19. I'm pretty sure my whole approach is flawed, but I don't see how else to do this. The attached is a very simplified version of what I'm trying to do. In the real problem, I have empty containers that enter a detached queue based on when they are retrieved from customers. I also have workers that need to select (through a fairly complicated process) which of these containers to batch together to enter a filling station. This selection process is complicated because it depends on filling material, pressure, volume, and safety stock of the sku (multiple skus can be combined in same batch provided filling material, pressure, and volume of container match). Anyway, what I'm aiming for is Create a batch When the worker is idle, he will go to a node and search among empty containers in the detached queue to assemble a complete batch. If there aren't enough containers, the worker will wait, idle. As empty containers arrive at the detached queue, they should trigger, somehow, the worker to try to create a batch again. There are new containers now, so maybe a batch is possible. (Preferably, since hundreds of containers could arrive at a time, this trigger would be for all the containers arriving at this specific time, not each container doing a separate trigger.) With the batch, the worker should move to a server, seize it and wait while the containers are filled. Then move to a separator to separate out the batch, moving the containers to full inventory and the worker should go back to try to create another batch. I'm stuck in a couple of places, specifically (so far) . . . I can't seem to get the worker, once batched, to move to the filling station. In fact, the Move block in PickingStation_Entered doesn't even fire. I can't figure out how to get the entity to trigger the worker to reevaluate the batching process. However I try this, the batching process is executed by either the entity's token or a model token. I can't see how to get the worker to be the executing token. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Model.spfx
  20. Hello, firstly a short discription of my problem: I have different assignmeent for different Entity which will take a random time and start after the Entity got processed at Server 1. The assignment can be done during the whole time but has to be paused while the Entity is processed at Server 2. After that the Entity can work on the assignment again. To get processed at Server 3 the Entity needs to be finished with the assignment. To be honest I have no clue on how to even start with this problem and would be very thanksfull for any idea or simbit suggestions?
  21. Is there any way to return the row number of a row or rows found by a Search add-on process? This is because I would like to use this number for other purposes in my model. Thanks!
  22. Hello. I'm quite new to make process logic in Simio. I have 3 Servers(server1, server2, server3) and the entity travel from server1 to server2 and server3 in order by Vehicle1. The server2 and server3 do not have any buffer; zero input buffer and zero output buffer. So, I need a process which controls deadlock. I thought when the destination of Vehicle1 is Output@Server1, check whether server2 has an entity in processing buffer. If it has, again, check server3 has an entity in processing buffer. So, my conditions are below when the destination of Vehicle1 is Output@Server1. 1. If Server2 and Server3 have an entity in processing buffer, wait until Server3 has finished process, then transfer entity in server3 to Sink1 first and transfer entity in Server2 to Server3. 2. If Only Server2 has an entity, wait unitl Server2 has finished process, then transfer entity in Server2 to Server3 and transfer entity in Server1 to Server2. 3. If Only Server3 has an entity, do not wait any situation. I've built a process steps to implement it, but doesn't work.. I don't know my logic has problems or process step has problems... I've attached my model below. Could you solve or suggest about my problem? Thank you. Jay. RoutingProblem.spfx
  23. Hello, I'm trying to model a paint flow line where I have two servers in one line(series and not parallel). If one entity gets painted in server 1, then I want that entity to just pass server two without getting processed. If the entity does not gets painted in server one than it can get processed in Server 2. I'm not sure how I should put this logic in Simio. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
  24. Hi, I’m using a Process type: Task sequence in my model at Server 1. I’d like to interrupt the server each 12 hours for 4 hours and resume the entity being processed later. I’ve used a Timer and an Interrupt step which work perfectly only when the Process type is Specific time. Therefore, I tried with a token to obtain the Interruption at the server. I made a process (InterruptServer) doing so but I feel like I’m missing some understanding here. I’ve received an error message as you can see in the small model. Anyone knows how to solve this error? Thank’s Flora InterruptSeverAndEntity-ProcessTypeTaskSequence.spfx
  25. Hello every body, I try to model a 3 servers process and I'm getting some trouble. The model is composed of 3 servers and 3 operators . Each operator is a "specialist" for a server, Worker 1, 2, 3 for the server 1, 2, 3 respectively. However the workers 2 and 3 can help the worker 1 at the server 1 if they are not busy. The processing time of server 1 will adjust proportionally to the number of workers working at the server. (There is a 4th worker whose task is to move parts to the server 3 or the sink. But I don't think it plays any role in the problem.) I've implemented some processes so that workers work at the right server. It was working perfectly. But then, as I modified the model to add the variable processing time, the Interrupt steps in the processes don't work anymore. Indeed, the worker 2 or 3 stay at the server 2 or 3 and don't go to help the worker 1 when servers 2 or 3 are blocked, or idle. As well, if workers 2 or 3 are busy at server 1 they are not interrupted when a part arrive to the server 2 or 3. I hope I'm clear enough. I've enclosed the model so that you can better picture the problem. Thank you for your attention and thank you in advance for any help I may get! three_workers_Interrupt.spfx
