Default Regarding the function of Time table in Flexsim

Hi all,

I am using Time table for my simulation. I only know how to simulate the case to be open-close-open for the input. Therefore if i want to simulate close-open-close or open-close-open, how can I do it by using the time table function in Flexsim using the row, time, state and duration?


I also have doubt on how Flexsim read my input. I realised that it does not read it row by row.

Therefore if I want to simulate a solution of close-open-close, for close is 36sec, open for 71sec and close for 55sec, how do I input to the row, time, state and duration in the time table?

Hi,
I would try it with inverse the times of the open- close- open modell and run it the same way. This means, I would make the first 36seconds down time than 71seconds operation up time and than back to down time for 55seconds.
What time unit you use for the simulation is similar and should only fit to the time in the time table. Or probably you can convert the time units to each other.
Hope this helps you. If not, please post your modell that I can have a look.

Greetings

I believe the state row only is for the information what state you want later in the statistics for the operational down time and doesn´t change anything else.
