1. Yes, when you change the growth factor it will be taken into account. Please have a look at the code that I added in the following location: atom arrivallist > tab arrivals then edit and field quantity has this code:
Code: Select all
cell(1,2,refGrow)*Max(0,Normal(93.8,41.75))
NB: I added the Normal distribution for the number of arrivals with an average of 93.8, you'll have to check if that's indeed the number you need.
2. The multiservice is the atom where trucks will "wait" until arrival. The code reads in which hour the truck will arrive label([HourArrival],i) and will pick a random time within that hour. So, it depends on what you need. I made the option that each hour of the day a certain % of trucks will arrive. If that's what you need, just leave the code as it is. If it's not what you want, please explain what you like to do. Note that you can change the % of trucks per hour of the day in the empirical distribution Arrival Hour.
3. Your description of the model looks good. If you are sure that 15 is enough for the queue capacity you can do that, if it's something you need to find out you better increase this capacity. For the explanation of the autofit tool go to Help and in the index search for autofit tool.
4. I am not sure what is happening in your model, it would help if you could attach it, so we could check.
