Support_FlowitemOnDrawColorChange_TD : This model is an example how to manipulate the color of an item over the time.
An OnDraw trigger on the item is used to do the job.
The model was built by Anthony Johnson during an Advanced Training classe.

Support_OnStateChange_TD : Support_OnStateChange_TD
This is an example on how to use the OnStateChange functionality in Flexsim.
The idea is to make a node OnStateChange in the tree under behaviour/eventfunctions and toggle it to Flexscript.
Keep in mind, that if the STOP button is pressed the statistics get updated and therefore some additional state changes are done. Using the PAUSE button will not have these additional state changes.
Attention:
Do not delete or rename the object Logo_FlexsimD, because otherwise the model will not work correctly. Also do not rename, delete or rerank other objects.

Support_ThreeProcessesWithRandomStart_TD : Support_ThreeProcessesWithRandomStart_TD
This model is a little example on how to define the material flow through processes, where products need to pass all three processes, but the starting process is random.
Attention:
Do not delete or rename the object Logo_FlexsimD, because otherwise the model will not work correctly. Also do not rename, delete or rerank other objects.

Support_MultiProcessorMTBF_TD : Support_MultiProcessorMTBF_TD
Small model to examine MTBF by choosing state PROCESSING or the different processes on MultiProcessor.
If the tick 'Apply MTBF to a set of states' in a Multiprocessor is set and the MTBF only in the different process states can happen, this can not be done with the MTBFMTTR GUI.
Choose in the MTBF GUI the tick. Then add in the tree under Tools/MTBFMTTR in the right MTBFMTTR (in this case MTBFMTTR_MultiProcessor) under variables/mtbfstates the number of nodes for the differnt processes. In this model Process1, Process2 and Process3, where the state numbers are 51,52,53 (MultiProcessor>stats/state/sta ... [more] (45.4 KB)

Support_DoNotOvertake_TD : Support_DoNotOvertake_TD
The following assignment needs to be solved:
Taskexecuter (operators) travel on a network and are not able to overtake each other.
The operators pick items from a rack and bring them to a sink.
At the end virtual path should be used for the path at the rack. Than if an operator picks from e.g. Bay 3 the other operators should wait at the network node for Bay 2.
Scenario_01
Result: No overtaking so it seems to work, beside that no virtual path is used.
Scenario_02
Virtual Path for the rack.
Result: Orange operator overtakes yellow operator.
Scenario_03
Include some more network nodes which are Virtual ... [more] (140.8 KB)

Support_OperatorPicksFromShelfBoxes_TD : This is a model from Michael Hartlieb and Michael Pohl, which are just working three weeks with Flexsim.
Assignment:
Build a model for an operator who picks items directly out of a box from a shelf/rack and puts the box back if he finished picking. If the box is empty the operator will bring the empty box out of the system.
Solution:
The main idea of their solution is just to put a Processor into the Operator. The rack just uses the Standard Use Transport task sequence and sends the box to the processor in the operator. The operator travels to the box (right position) and now the process starts (pick time). At the end of the pic ... [more] (43.2 KB)

Support_RackItemsInXDirection_TD. : This is an example how to place the items in rack cells not in y but in x direction, so behind each other.
The tricky bit was to make own placement because the rack already has functionality how to place items.
The main code is in OnEntry and OnExit of the rack and differnt labels are used. Some are not necessary for the code but just for information.
Attention:
Do not delete or rename the object Logo_FlexsimD, because otherwise the model will not work correct. Also do not rename, delete or rerank other objects.

Support_ASRSvehicleTravelsBack_TD : Little support model which shows that the pick list option Travel to an Object Destination in the Unload Trigger is not working.
The ASRSvehicle needs a traveltoloctask instead of a travel task. For an Operator or a transporter the travel task is working.
The explanation is that an ASRS vehicle like e.g. a Crane is only using travel offset and the travel task therefore is useless (Operator and Transporter using travel task). Therefore a traveltloc tasktype is doing the job for an ASRSvehicle.

Do not delete or rename the object Logo_FlexsimD, because otherwise the model will not work correct. Also do not rename, delete o ... [more] (36.5 KB)
