Default FlexSim Webserver

Hello,

I am working with running a model using the FlexSim webserver. I notice that is seems if you have a start bar created in a dashboard that it will show up underneath the image of the model in the webpage. I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to get it to display the simulation run time in this web page?

I tried to create a time display counter in the dashboard, but that does not show up like the state bar does.

Nicole,

An easy way to get that information into the model is to create a visual tool that displays text and then in the text display put the following command:
Code:
numtostring(time(),3,3)
This will return the time with 3 decimal places. You can also set the visual tool to be a screen locked billboard so you will always be able to see it, and you can move it to one of the corners using the x, y, and z locations in the general tab.

Thank you! I never thought about using the billboard option.
