Use global variables in source

[ FlexSim 20.1.2 ]

If I have a defined global variable, Can I use this variable in 3D source?

for example, I have one time arrival of 28 totes. instead of typing in 28, can I use ToteQty?

Hi @Jingyong P, unfortunately, the "Arrival Schedule" on the 3d source only accepts numerical data.

However, you can easily use a global variable with process flow. Simply add a scheduled source and configure it like so:

GlobalVariableCreate.fsm
