How do I get and put the time of day into a label

tee_hiett — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 22:15:34 GMT

[ FlexSim 21.2.4 ]

In the file that I added to FlexSim files shared site, Scenario 2-Experiments 0516, I would like to add the current model time to a label on the patient. later on I would like to use this time value in comparison with other time values, such as process start time and scheduled arrival time. But first I need help with getting the values into labels.

Thanks

Hello @Tee Hiett,

You can access the Model time to get it in different formats. The simplest of these is

Model.time()

For those finding this post from the title, the number of time units since midnight is:

days(Math.frac(Model.dateTime.excelTime))
