Good day,

We already had contact some time ago during a call. Attached a demo model. Here the batching property of a server is used to create a batch of 12 pipes. In the demo I also use some scripting for the flow control. These functions are Openinput(c) and CloseInput(c), otherwise all products ...

Hi, I have never tried sending a human resource with an Advanced transporter but it was at least not designed to be able to travel like this. My approach be to just use the Human Resource itself to model the movement with a transporter. You can easily adjust its walking speed, acceleration etc. to ...

Dear ie_1998,

Yes, it Is possible to change the maximum speed of the agents to a specific value at any time and location. It is indeed possible to do this when the action timer starts. If you change the Agent_MaxSpeed during the simulation it will not have effect. You need to use the function Agent ...

Dear ie_1989,

If you use the effect on infrastructure of elements of the Action timer element and set the escalators to bidirectional then the escalators are used as if it were a stairs element. Agents can use the escalators to go both up and down and the escalator has speed zero. The choice the ...

Hi,

You can indeed get statistics of a special group of agents without using waypoints. Like you did in the model for the second output route you can indeed use a filter to select a specific profile ID.

The strange distances are caused by the way the agents with the special profile are placed in ...

Hi Immo,

If you need to write data for each product to a new row in your sheet then you might not even need your own global variable. You can just use Input(c) when you write code from an Entry trigger or Output(c) when you write your code on an exit trigger to address a new row in the sheet. These ...

Hi Chiara,

In Enterprise Dynamics 9 the Main menu is created by the function Menu_CreateMainMenu. This function is defined on the Menu atom that can be found in the systems group of the Library. On the functions page of the atom editor you can see all the function defined on the Menu atom.

The ...

Hello Hesam Adrang

The easiest 4DScript word to use is AtomDistance(e1,e2) where e1 and e2 are reference to the atoms between which you need to know the distance. The unit of measurement for distance is meters.

You can also calculate the distance using words for querying the location of an atom ...

Hi Jeroen,

Yes you can model any scheduling rule that you want. You write that you have read the ED Tutorial but I also recommend that you read and tryout examples of the Tutorial "A First start to 4DScript". For many models it can by very useful to know how to work with labels. So you should focus ...

Hi Ditmar,

In the Trigger on entry and Trigger on exit of the queue you can store the Time in a label on the product. For this you need the following code:

Trigger on entry: Label([entrytime], i) := Time

Trigger on exit: Label([exittime], i) := Time

This way the current entry time is stored ...
