Update number of Worker dynamically within the run

[MohammedM]

Hello everyone,

 

hope you are having a great day,

 

i have a simple yet challenging problem.

 

i am using Worker from the standard library. i want to change the number of workers dynamically each 8 hours based on a formula.

 

on Resource it can be done easily using current capacity feature, in workers it does not exist. 

 

Also, when adding a schedule in the value, I cannot change the number greater than 1, meaning on the schedule, I can either say he's on shift or off shift. meaning if the initial population was 5, then they would go off shift together to 0. 

 

what i want is to change the number from 5 to 4 to 6. like that.

 

i couldn't find a way to do that.

 

your help is much appreciate it.

 

Thank you

Worker has an assignable state variable to control its availability.    

Assign  Worker1[1].CurrentCapacity=1     

Assign  Worker1[1].CurrentCapacity=0
