Default Send to Port By Percentage

Hi everyone!

Good day!

I would like to set the send to port by percentage values that would refer from a probability global table. I have tried to use "gettablenum("Probability Flow", 1, 1)" under Percent but is not functioning well.
I have attached the sample file.

I appreciate your inputs.

Thank you!

Best,
Herwina Richelle

Instead of value 0.65 you need to use 65 and etc..

Percentages must sum to 100.

a different approach is the use of the function cempirical([global table by rank, node or name], [stream number])

Hi Jorg and Dawid!

I've tried using your suggestions but both do not seem to work.
The output per location does not correspond to the percentages defined.

Thanks!

Best,
Herwina

Hi Herwina,

I've fixed additional error in your model.

gettablenum("Probability Flow", 1, 2) - change to =>gettablenum("Probability Flow", 2, 1) and etc

The first value is a row number and the second is a column number.

Now everything should be ok.

Default Percentages not correspond to the results

Hi Dawid,

Thanks for your input.

I have applied the same concept in a bigger model. As I have validated the results of the first four objects, the defined percentages do not correspond to the results. COM_A360_1 has an inputof 700 units, but from the results it seems that the percentages did not workat all.

See attached model and photo.

Thank you for your help.

Best,
Herwina Richelle

Hi everyone,

I have fixed the problem.
I had two global tables with the same name thus the code from the send to port is referring to the first table.

Thank you guys for your help!

Best,
Herwina Richelle
