Control Operators with Process Flow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- In this video, Cliff King builds an example model using a process flow to control the operator tasks. This is an approach you can use when the behavior of an operator needs to be defined in a very specific way that does not conform to the basic task sequences defined by standard 3D objects like queues and processors.
The model highlights the Event-Triggered Source, pushing and pulling from a List, and the use of a Sub Flow to model repetitive actions!
00:24 Description of example model
01:09 Layout 3D object in model
01:52 Set a Type label and color to entering items
02:24 Create and add operators to an Ops group
02:53 Create a General Process Flow
02:59 Event-Triggered Source
03:54 Push to List
03:58 List
05:44 Operator flow begins with Schedule Source generating one token per operator
06:07 Acquire an available operator from an operator group
06:41 Pull from List
07:53 Run Sub Flow
10:28 Sub flow of tasks (Travel, Load, Unload)
12:44 Create repeating loop in Operator flow

Hi, I'm trying to replicate your model step-by-step, and I encountered a behavior where one operator just stand still if one queue has 0 or 1 item. Could you elaborate on that, thank you.
Can we have 2 conveyers where each have its own sink?
Hi, i'm trying to create a 3D custom object (a plane) because i'm trying to do an airport simulation, but i can't do it or find any custom object on the internet, any help? Thanks.
FlexSim supports a large number of 3D object file types (see docs.flexsim.com/en/Using3DObjects/CreatingCustomObjectsAnimations/CreatingCustomObjects/). The 3D Warehouse (3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/) is a popular website to find 3D models, and FlexSim supports .skp files.
HI. I have a small problem in my simulation, how do I make the operators perform the setup time even on empty processors?
- I put 3 operators to work on the whole line, all controlled by Dispatcher. What happens is that at the beginning of the simulation only Operator_1 works, this happens until the flow item arrives at the next Processor...
- (It seems that the software understands that the setup time can only be executed if there is a flow item on that Processor)
- That is, Operators_2 and 3 are stopped until the flow item has arrived at a Processor so that they can perform the setup and processing. Since it is necessary to perform the setup of several Processes further down the line.
Can you help me?
too complicated...
