Hi everybody,

I'm using the MTBF/MTTR function to simulate breakdowns on the processors in my model. Now I want to mark items that are in the processor when it breaks down as "not okay"(label on the item).
Is there a simple way to get a reference to this Item in the OnBreakDown trigger? Currently I have worked my way around by using a marker label on the processor and marking the Item in the OnExit trigger of the workstation but a reference to the Item directly from the OnBreakDown trigger would also make some other things easier!

Thanks in advance.

Regards

You can use first(), last() passing in the failed object ('downobject' or 'involved'), or rank() which allows you to select from a number of items if it's processing them in parallel eg. 'rank(downobject,2)'
