collecting state percentage periodically

Hi

anyone has seen any post on collecting state percentage periodically? I would like to collect them by day or by hour. Any advise?

Regards

David

Hello David,

You can copy the state node of an object to a different node, e.g. a label. If you save the state node from the last and actual period, you can compare the value, write them result to a table for later inspection or to write the table to a csv-file. In a user event you can define the period of execution. Perhaps you write an own user command which you use at different periods.

Hi David,

here some additional hints:
By using createcopy to copy the state profile to a label node, flexsim adds a new row to the already saved profiles. You can explore the node as a table and use the table functions referencing the table directly by this node.
Perhaps you have to update the states of the object more often. Please test on your own when to use updatestate(obj.) and updatestates() and follow the hints given in the manual to these functions.
