Time table does not work after updating it's members by code.

Hi,

I would like to ask regarding the Time Table functionality. Since I assigned specific objects to a created Time Table manually, the Time Table works perfectly. During the simulation run I have one trigger that changes the Time Table's members. After this change it does not affect anything. I guess there should be some command for updating the functionality.

Can someone help please?

Thank you.

Martin

Dynamically adding/removing members of a time table during a model run is not supported. What you can do instead is to add a condition to the down function that prevents the object from actually being stopped based on a label (for example). By changing the value of the label you can then effectively remove objects from the time table (exclude them from being stopped in future down times).

Thank you for the information. Can you please give me an example as I am not sure how it should be implemented.

In the attached model both operators follow a time table with a pattern of 15mins downtime followed by 15mins of uptime. At 09:00 the Process Flow switches the label on Operator1. This then causes the downfunction to skip that object and Operator1 stays active.
