Add Array Data to a Node

[hoang_nk]

[ FlexSim 22.1.2 ]

Hello guys,

I'm having trouble adding array data to a node in the model tree.

As you can see from the screenshot, I have a GUI from which I can write values to the 2 nodes "loadLoc" and "unloadLoc" (in red circles). It worked well when data types of the nodes were number, however I cannot write new values into these nodes when I change the data types to Array data. It keeps showing "array: Array[0]: {}".

Please can anyone help me on this?

Many thanks,

Hoang Nguyen

@Jason Lightfoot could you help me with this? it seems to have something to do with data structure of Flexsim. Many Thanks!

Can't see the end of your Array assignment - you should have .value on the end of the treenode expression if you don't already.

I do have the .value at the end of the expression in the code, but I cannot assign values to the node var, either by directly typing into the model or by using the GUI

Can you post the model with the steps you're taking to test it? Have you tried debugging your code using breakpoints to see what's going on?

here's the model I'm doing, could you tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Your picture was misleading since it implied that the code shown was not working - but in fact that's irrelevant to your question.

I don't think you can edit an array using a coldlink and a single text edit box. Use a label on the object and the properties panel to edit the values or create 3 text edit boxes per array and use the apply or onkillfocus to set the values of the array.

Oh I see, I successfully tested it with Number and Text so thought that it could work the same with an array. So using the label on the Operator is the approach you meant?

It can be on the task executer or on a station/fixed resource.

Thanks for your help. Here's the model which I corrected, it now works as I would like it to. Could you see if it's wise to implement it this way? Many thanks

I meant use array labels:

Then double clicking them you can edit the values:
