Using global tables to dictate queue release

[conner_f]

[ FlexSim 19.1.0 ]

I am trying to have a global table dictate to a queue when to release the object in queue depending on the time in the rows and the simulation will last several days, columns. What is the best way to do this? I am still learning FlexSim and can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this.

@Conner F,

Sorry for the slow reply.

It's really hard to answer a specific question on a model without having the model to look at. Is it possible for you to send us your model or a sample model of the problem(s)? That would help us understand the problem much better.

Thanks.

The classic approach is to write the sequence into the schedule table in the source. The Arrival Style "Arrival Schedule".

you can import an excel table.

In Process Flow you create a token by a Date Time Source activity.

Then a Create Object activity will place as many items as you like in or at the object in the 3D Model. It is probably a queue. You need no more a 3D source.
