Default global tables

Hi everyone,

i'm writing my master thesis and i'm using flexsim to simulate and optimize an automated warehouse.

actually i'm working on the interarrival time of the pallets to this warehouse and unfortunately no distributions fit my model so i'm working with empirical distributions made with expertfit.

My problem is the fact that expertfit give me the emp. dist. with 3 numbers after the comma but the global tables in flexsim support only 2 number after the comma....and since the sum has to be 100% this is a problem.

Can somebody help me????


thank you so much to everyone that can help.

Hi,

go to the menu Edit -> Set Number Precision and set the number of decimals you want to work with...

Pablo

Thank you so much!

another small thing: i saw summing the percentages of expertfit that they don't sum up to 100; sometimes they are a little bit bigger and sometimes a little bit smaller......should i fix this? how?
