Crashing of model after about 1500 hours of simulating
Posted: Tuesday 04 October, 2022 - 08:58
Hi everyone,
The problem that I am experiencing is as follows. I made the attached model in ED after a few iterations. The process that I am modeling is pretty slow so I wanted to model it so I could test different ways of setting up the process and see what might change in output and throughput. The model is based on the fact that it is the power pack of a train that comes in to be refurbished. Of this particular customer, there are only ever 9 power packs on site in total. I tried to regulate this by attaching a card at the beginning and detaching the card at the end again, by setting the number of cards released I can regulate the number of power packs in the system.
I am now running into the problem that after running the model for 1000 hours it starts to stutter and stop, and after around 1500 hours it just crashes. I can see that the model slows down at the splitter because it is very slow to send the different parts one by one to their stations. Do you guys know a way to maybe fix this or relieve this problem so I can run my model for a longer time?
Looking forward to your guy's thoughts!
