Compute Resource State Time Workers

[jalbiolmo]

I wanted to know how to compute a resource state time for a worker object with a dynamical population over experiments.

I know how to do for a fixed population, and sum over all the population gives me the desired computation but I don’t want to put a lot of decides to do when the population is a dynamical property.

Is it a more natural way in Simio instead of using the way: WorkerName[1].ResourceState.PercentTime(7)+WorkerName[2].ResourceState.PercentTime(7)+...?

Thank's!

You can use the search step to give you access to all members of a population. If you want utilization as a response you may have to create a state variable and use a process on run ending. The search would then find all the workers (subject to any conditions, if needed) and then add the desired value to the state variable. Then set the state variable as the response expression in your experiments.
