Default Set Arrival Sequence on reset with global table

Hi!

Simple question: I want to program the source on reset that it sets for "Arrival 1" the "Quantity" to the value of the "GlobalTable" row1 column 1 and so on for arrival 2 row2 column1...

Thanks!

Did you have a look into the Model ‘Sample_Manipulation_of_arrival_schedule_MB’ in the download section? I guess this model has everything you need. Okay, it is reading from Excel, but to change this to a Global Table should not be a big deal.

Here is a link to the model:

Hey,

thanks for your reply. I think that would do it. I am working with Flexsim 4.53 and after Flexsim crashed sometimes I could open it by first opening another .fsm and then opening this file.

I guess the "UserEventInit" is what I am searching for but Tools-->UserEvent does not work (there is nothing to open).

Maybe i am searching at the wrong place or its a version problem!?!

Before I made my first post, I checked the model and it was just working fine more.
I did it again now and it is working. I use v4.52 with is the actual version.
You are right, the important code is in the UserEventInit.
I guess the model was built in v4.32 and I did not update it because it is not my model. But maybe Markus will do this soon.

The only thing I can think of might be, that you may have open the model directly from the Explorer.
Please NEVER open models directly from the Explorer.
There seems to be an issue with Flexsim Deutschland models and I guess it is because of the Model Control GUI, but I am not sure. We so far were not able to figure it out.
So please open first Flexsim and then the model with File Open Model or the button Open.

Hopefully this was the issue.

If I open it after having started Flexsim it works...(u r right, I opened it from the explorer)but where do I find the Code...There is nothing at Tools-->User Events (see picture). I am currently not in the Office so I have no access to the Network licence...might that be a problem (But this model only has 2 items so it should work without network licence?)?

Yes, if you are in Evaluation Mode (no Flexsim hardware key detected) you do not have access to some functionality like User Events.
