Hi sir,

Attached please find a simple FlexSim HealthCare example.

Three arrivals (PatientArrivals1,PatientArrivals2,PatientArrivals 3) and three waiting areas (WaitingRoom1,WaitingRoom2,WaitingRoom3) are created.
Now I want patients from PatientArrivals1 go to WaitingRoom2;patients from PatientArrivals2 go to WaitingRoom3; patients from PatientArrivals3 go to WaitingRoom1.

The code I used is BasedOnLocationMatching. Though the locations returned are correct, the patients do no go to the destination where it should be.

Any comment is appreciated. Thank you !!

Without a chance to look at the model yet, I can tell you it is common for modelers to forget to change the default "Entrance Criteria for Next Patient" option on the PatientQueuing objects in these situations. The default option is to lenient because it lets patients walking unattended to enter the queue even if they haven't been assigned there. You have to change the option to be similar to the default used for PatientProcessing objects. See if this works for you!

Hi Cliff,

Thank you very much. Problem was solved by following your instructions. By the way, where can I investigate the meaning of functions and variables .etc in FlexSim script?

Regards,
Peiran

You have two options:

- set your cursor into the command and push F1
- open Help>Users Manual>Command Reference
