Mixer is not taking input

[ FlexSim 23.1.3 ]

Hi,

In my model I have set port and amounts of mixers need to be added, but the fluid transfer is not taking from tank to mixer, I have checked weather the tank output is open. all output ports are open and fluid is not tarnsfering.

I have set the mixer recipe table like this:

What is the reason.

Thanks in advance.

This seems malformed to me - I'd expect a port amount to be unique for a given step.

Thank, yes! You are right. I will work on making repeated port numbers to zero.

Hi @Jason Lightfoot

Using the code below I am setting the port column as well as amount columns in the mixer recipe table according to the recipe schedule. here actually I need to convert the repeated port numbers to zero and add converted zero row amount to the non-zero port.

example: In the table above 5th row has port number 3 and 8th row port number is also 3, it should be converted to zero and amount(2) in the 8th row should be added to amount in the row 5 (i.e., 2+2 =4).

/**Custom Code*/

Table recipeTable=getvarnode(Model.find("FluidMixer1"), "recipetable");

Table globRecipes=Table("RecipeTable");

Table globalports= Table("RecipePorts");

string newRecipe="Recipe2";

for (int n=globRecipes.numCols;n>0;n--){

string ingredient=globRecipes.getColHeader(n);

int row=recipeTable.getRowByKey(ingredient,1);

recipeTable[row]["Amount"]= globRecipes[newRecipe];

}

/**Custom Code*/

for (int n=globalports.numCols;n>0;n--){

string port=globalports.getColHeader(n);

int row=recipeTable.getRowByKey(port,1);

recipeTable[row]["Port"]= globalports[newRecipe];

}

Thanks in Advance
