When Will You Need This? When you need to create a visual display of variable values in your model during simulation. Create an easy method to debug logic by displaying variable values during a simulation run, and a single place where KPI's can be displayed. Model Object The following model object can be found in [...]
When Will You Need This? When you need to display the value of a single integer variable in a large digital display. Caution -- This Model Object can only be used once in your model. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Visual Indicator \ Digital [...]
When Will You Need This? When you want to randomize the order in which resources are gotten. This will more evenly distribute the utilization of each resource, particularly when using boolean expressions to select from multiple possible resources. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Utilization \ Randomize [...]
When Will You Need This? When you want to get one of multiple resources in a preliminary process step, then get the same resource for work on the same entity at a later process step. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Utilization \ Get the Same Resource [...]
When Will You Need This? When you want to sequentially vary the order in which resources are gotten. This will more evenly distribute the utilization of each resource, particularly when using boolean expressions to select from multiple possible resources Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Utilization \ Alternate [...]
When Will You Need This? When the simulation is being run continuously reflecting multiple shifts, one after another. This timer help make display the current shift time, the day of the week and the week number, or to certain logic needs to be deployed based on specific shift times, day or week. This model object [...]
When Will You Need This? When you need to estimate the length of stay remaining, for entities that are preloaded. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Time \ Remaining Length of Stay Estimator. Ease of Use: Moderate Ease of Modification: Moderate How to Use the Model Object [...]
When Will You Need This? When you need to track the hour of the day (24 hours/day) and the day of the week instead of just relying on the "straight run time" the simulation clock displays. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Time \ Hour of Day, [...]
When Will You Need This? To display the hours and minutes of each day (AM/PM) rather than just show the simulation clock which shows straight simulation run time. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: 1. Time \ Digital Clock with Days, Black. 1. Time \ Digital Clock [...]
When Will You Need This? If you need to decrease processing time based on the number of entities waiting to be processed (e.g. customers waiting in line). Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Time \ Decreasing Based on Load. Ease of Use: Easy Ease of Modification: Easy [...]
