Hello,

I search a trigger which fires to a given simulation time which I defined. I have a rack where meat products are stored with a best-before label. I want to check every day if there are some products in the rack which are over the best-before date.
The best in my eyes would be to have a trigger which fires every day and then could I execute my check of the best-before label. Is there such a trigger in Flexsim?

thanks
Matthias

You could make a repeating user event in the Tools menu.

Hi Matthias,

Another solution is to use senddelayedmessage.

In OnReset for the rack you write senddelayedmessage(current,XX,current).
In OnMesseage you write your code to check the best-before date and
last of your code you write senddelayedmessage(current,XX,current) again.

XX is the repeating time.

The user event does exactly what I want, but I'm not such an expert in C++. So I will try the delayed message.

Thanks again for the quick answers,
Matthias
