Processing different entity type (products) in sub-models

Hello,


I have created a sub-model with two servers connected by a path that will process n types of entities (i.e. different products that share a work station). In the main model these entities have a table reference assignment (specified at the source) that allows different processing times in each server in the model. If these entities enter the sub-model how can I allow for different processing times? Since there is no source in the sub-model I do not see a way to assign the a reference table (normally done in the source).


Thank you for any ideas!

There are several ways to do this.


If you simply need a single piece of information, then you can store that in an entity state and simply reference that entity state. That's the "easy" way.


But the "elegant" (e.g. correct) way to do it is to reference that table value directly. In Simio all the tables must reside in the top level object. But in fact a repeat group is quite similar to a table. So you can define a repeat group that is part of the object, and then pass in the parent object's table name as a referenced property.


Here is an example:PassDownTable.spfx
