jfulton Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 So this may be an easy answered question, but I'm at a roadblock. I want to have an entity wait in a server until a specific date and time. Once that date and time is reached within the model run, I need it to fire and move to the next server. This would be easy if it were one entity, but essentially a batch all arrives at different times and then needs to wait until that date/time to ALL move at the same time into a combiner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
dsturrock Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Assuming you have a property or state named TargetTime, then you could delay each individual entity by "TargetTime-TimeNow". Regardless of the times that individual entities arrive, they will all finish their delays at TargetTime and then move forward together.
jdoran Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 As Dave mentioned, the easiest way is via a property and a delay. Attached is something I mocked up quickly for you. gate_holding.spfx
jfulton Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 I can't seem to view this file as it was created in a later version and some of the functionality differs. Thanks for your help. I'll see if there are any simbits on gates
jdoran Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 You should try and stay up to date with Simio. If this is a licensing difference (I am running Team Edition)... then that is too bad. The following screenshots should show what I did though.
