Control Operators with Process Flow

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 ============= GET THE SOFTWARE: account.flexsim.com/flexsim-express/ ============= CONNECT WITH US!
