Worker stagnates after some simulation time

[piedz]

Hey Simio insiders,

 

I have been working on a model with workers. The workers transport goods over a facility, from one server to another. They seem to work perfectly until about 2 hours into the simulation. I have been looking into the the 'watch' properties, and it appears that the worker is waiting for something. This happens eventough i do not have a wait process in place. It waits at a server which it is about to drop an entity. The server input buffer is infinity, since i thought it might have caused the problem.

Do any of you know why my worker is waiting?

I think your worker has entered the node but it is not a visit, so that it waits until any other object seizes it.

Have you transfered your worker onto that node by using a SIZE or MOVE step?

Hey, Thanks for your reply.

No I have not used a move or size step, I use the worker as a resource. I use it for processing, and have a resource seize and release before processing.

Hi Piet,
Would you please share the model?

Thanks,

Hey,

Thank you for your reply. I have fixed the problem! It was a process that I forgot to stop after a WAIT step. Stupid mistake, but it happens.

Thanks
