Hi guys, I stopped working on my model some weeks ago and now that I restarted my work I noticed that all the Decides on my model were cleared - the decide property is set to "0.0" in all of them! The only think that I can think of is that after these non work weeks gap I did a Simio update - I think it was to the latest version. Can somebody help me retrieve my model with the deciedes? Or help me in any other way? Please, this is very urgent...

Thanks for your reply Petr Tulach. I've already emailed you I would like to add some information that I did not state on the original post. Thus, I would like to emphasize that, to update the layout of a single model, I have to delete all the objects on its Facility and then create them anew. The simple process of deleting all the models can take hours! Sometimes, it takes more time to delete them all than to create a new warehouse (I can't understand this). Thus, I have 2 processes each 1 consuming more that 1 hour! All of this, just to update the logic of all the other Simio files I have that are using the same logic... Isn't there a better way to do this? So, I really would apretiate some help, even if it is just to tell me that there is no alternative to what im currently doing (at least I would know I have to do it this way, unfortunately)

Thanks That helped alot

Hi guy. So I've been struggling with this for a long time now... Basically I have developed a model that simulates a company warehouse.. Originally this was supposed to be for a single company, but now the project has evolved and the tool is now capable of modelling the warehouse of many companies. But there is one problem... The logic of the model works for any of the companies. However, the layout (which is automatically created through an add-in I developed) has to be created for each case. So each time I have to alter the model I chose one of the models, make the changes and then I have to create all the layouts again to apply the changes to the remaining models... this is very tiring and time-consuming. Nonetheless, the only alternative I could come up with was to make the changes on all the models which is unpractiable. Many thanks.

Some directions please? I'm really having trouble with this... Thanks

Some help please? Thanks

Hi! I'd like to update a previous problem I've had on this topic. The problem is basically the same. The provided solution was to create an entity and have it seize the worker, so that he'd go to another place and do something. However, now I face a situation in which the worker on idle has to help another worker that is being seized by an entity in a server, in order for the process time to decrease. So now the possibility of creating an entity and have it seize the worker cannot be used. Any help?

Any help?

Hi everyone. Is it possible to Combine members and a parent based on more than one state? Can anyone tell me how is this done? If not, what would be the best alternative? Thanks

Hi guys. As the subject says I'm looking for a way to to be able to set the start and end data of the simulation run. While searching for alternatives I was only able to find this similar issue on this forum: http://www.simio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2054&p=6659&hilit=start+time+end#p6659 However, I think that just setting the length of the run would not solve my problem, because the inputs of the model I'm working on rely on specific dates that can vary very much, depending on the data that's given to me by the companies. So are there any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks for the solution

Hi everyone. I want a worker to perform an action if he does not have any seize requests. I've uploaded an example of what i'm trying to achieve. Basically I want the worker to go to TransferNode1 and execute PerformIdleAction process whennever he doesn't have any entity, on either server1 or server2, requesting a ride from the worker. I've tried to do this by checking the ResourceState variable of the worker and the Capacity, but my problem seems to be that I don't know how or when to check these states... I think a good way would be to have an add-on process OnIdle or something like that, so i'm having problems with this. Hope anyone can help me. Thanks example.spfx

Well I said it is huge cause I very often get an out of memory error and my machine has 8 GB. However, in this case it just does nothing. I click to paste and it stays processing for a while. After that nothing happens. It also doesn't let me load the project as a library. "Cannot load 'Final@lab_v16' because it has the same originating project id as '[Project Library]' If you want to open both of these projects as libraries, you must create a new project and move the models from one of them into this new project. Then open the new project and the other existing project."

Thanks that worked very well

So, the purpose is to copy - paste the model? If this is the case, it seems Simio can't copy my model - it's a very huge one.

Hi everyone! Is it possible to, after having created a model, to subclass it and edit some processes of the original one? The point is to make sort of a copy paste of the created model, in the same file. Thanks

Any help? I think this should really be of simple solution but I'm really missing the solution here...

Hi everyone. In my project I have a worker that has to do something to entities on 2 servers (as a secondary resource of a server the worker moves to the server) and then transport them to the respective locations. The problem is that sometimes the worker only does something to the entities and does not transport them, which cannot hapen. Any ideas? I uploaded a sample of the problem I described. exp_cantina.spfx

Hi guys. I'm starting this topic because I have some doubts that I would like to clarify regarding Simio's memory management. While working on my model I noticed these things: When I try to run simulation experiences, since my model is huge, Simio can only handle 2 experiences at a time (due to my computers limitations). If I try to run more, lets say 8, it gives a System out of Memory error. Fine. Yet, if I try to perform 2 experiences at a time, it executes all of the 8... I am curious, why is it necessary to run them separately? Can´t Simio manage the memory needed? Also sometimes when I work on my model for several hours without restarting Simio, I have problems when I try to run the model (I get warnings telling me to e-mail the error), run experiences or even save the project! I get the feeling that this is due to successive runs/experiences I do without restarting the tool but, once again, can't Simio manage its memory usage? Well, looking forward for some enlightenment on this topic. Thanks!

Hi I have a FIFO queue in my model. However, in certain cases, I want to transfer entities to the first position of that queue (temporary LIFO). I have thought of some more complex ways to do this but before implement those, I wanted to know if a more efficient way exists, like for example transferring an entity to the first position of the queue...

The data is given by a company. I suppose I can't just tell them that.....

The reason for this is that I have a process that loops through a table with hundreds of lines (roughly 500 lines but depends on input - could be thousands) and for each line has to search a value on table that also has hundreds of lines. So for each row of the first table i am looping through the second, which ends with Simio warning me concerning something about excessive loops... So, I thought of a workaround that consists on immediately getting the row value of the value and thus I wouldn't need to loop the second table. Any ideas on how to do this or any other workaround suggestions? Please I need to solve this today... Thanks.

Actually I meant the row corresponding to the value. Let's say i have a table and i want to search for a value. I want to know on which row that value is...

Hi! Is there an immediate way to get the row number of a table without looping through all the rows? Thanks

Hi everyone! As the title sugests I want to know if there is some way to access the entities that are on a Path, similar to what we can do to access the elements on a queue. Thanks
