Default Assigning batch content and processtime using global table

Hi community,i have a problem I want to use global table for assigning processtime and batch size for a processor
I read the thread
http://www.flexsim.com/community/for...ead.php?t=2465
but still I am not able to clear myself .so I am attaching a model file with an example
For product 1 the routing is source1-p1-p2-p3-sink
For product 2 the routing is source2-p2-p3-p4-sink
For product 3 the routing is source3-p3-p4-p1-sink
queue should not release items until processing of items done.The data is given in the table below for each of the three stages.My question is
How to read the data from the global table?
How the items can be released with a certain distribution using the global table?
Please help me.Any other suggestions regarding this topic is heartly welcome
Thanks for all your patience

Could you explain what table data means? You´ve got more than one value in a cell.

The idea for your model I´ve attached. Every Queue should only store one specific Itemtype. This way you can perform Batches as you want. And the routing I´ve done by using a pickoption in Flow tab.

Thank you for responding,I am sorry that you understand the problem in a wrong way.I will be more clear this time.Like any production system products have different processes with different process times and batch sizes as they move forward.In my example I created three products that undergo three different processes that vary in process time and batch content.
For simplicity I call p1(in),p1,p1(out) as p1 and the same repeats for all cases
I posted a sample model in that
the routing for product 1 is source1-p1-p2-p3-sink
in that if you look into the table first row
p1 batch content is 15 process time is 2
p2 batch content is 20 process time is 3
P3 batch content is 25 process time is 4
I want to store these process times and batch size in a single place(global table).So these can be accessible by all the processors.
my question is
How to read the data from the global table?
How the items can be released with a certain distribution using the global table?

This way you only have to create a global table and add your data in it. The command you are looking for is:

gettablenum("YourGlobalTable",row,col);

but for this you only should store one value per cell ;-)

Hello Sagar,

as long as you do not need every single item of your batches in your model, a single flowitem can be your batch. You can set the amount of parts or components as labels. Then you adjust the times (e.g. Processtime) with this information. Only if you want a real complex model, wherein your batches split and later join again it might be a good idea to use only items. But here you can use labels to identify your batches, too. At the end of the whole process you collect the batches again.
If your transports can not transport all items of a batch, let the transport move slower or let him go more times between load and unload station before he unloads the batch.
