Model stops and begins running again

Hi. I want my source to stop creating flowitems at a certain time. Then when all flowitems go to the sink, the model stops. How can i make the model starts running again from that model? So the source has to create again flowitems, e.tc. I tried to write a code in on model trigger: On model Stop, using the command go(), but it doesn't work. Is there a way? And this has to be repeated.

Hello Vassiliki,

if you don't want to stop the model at all, you can place a source direct connected to a sink in your model. This source creates eg every 3600s an item. So your real model source can be stopped and started again.

If you have a constant amount of flowitems that is sent through your model you can send a message from your sink to your source.

Use this code:

int cnt = 123; // 123 is amount of your created flowitems in the first run
if (fmod(getinput(current),cnt) == 0)
{
sendmessage(centerobject(current,1),current);
}

And use the OnMessage trigger of your source to create your flowitems.
Destination should be outobject(current,1)

Note that you must connect the sink and source on their central ports and you cannot connect the source and processor directly but must have a queue or conveyor in between.

That should do the trick.
