Shortest Queue is Missing in V2021?

[ FlexSim 21.0.1 ]

HI,

I am using the latest version V 2021.20.0.1. In this version, i am working on Process flow model.

I couldn't see the "shortest queue" option in the decide block.

Hi Sudharsan,

that seems to be the case. I am not sure about the reason of it being removed, buy you could open the code editor for the Decide activity:

and just paste this code (copied from the shortest queue option on a previous version of FlexSim)

Object current = param(1);
treenode activity = param(2);
Token token = param(3);
treenode processFlow = ownerobject(activity);
/**Shortest Queue*/
/**Send to the connector corresponding to the activity with the shortest queue.*/
int curmincontent =  1000000000; // this sets the integer to the largest possible value that an integer can hold.
int connector = 1;

for (int index = 1; index <= nrop(activity); index++) {
    treenode tempactivity = outobject(activity, index);
    int activitycontent = getstat(tempactivity, "Content", STAT_CURRENT, current);
    if (activitycontent < curmincontent) {
        curmincontent = activitycontent;
        connector = index;
    }
}

return connector ;
