Utilization of basicFR/TE in state chart doesn't calculated

Hello,

State chart templates are unable to calculate utilization of basicFR/TE.

This is definitely a bug. Here is how to work around the issue for now, in version 18.2:

First, install the template. This will reveal a Process Flow in the toolbox. That process flow has a Wait for Event activity that is waiting for the state change:

The issue is that there are two OnStateChange events. Most objects use one, but the BasicFR and the BasicTE use the other.

If your chart only includes BasicFR or BasicTE objects, you can use the Object sampler in the Wait for Event activity to sample one of the object's OnStateChange events. Then change the object reference back to token.Object. Also be sure to assign the current state value to the CurState label:

This has been fixed. The fix will be in the FlexSim 18.2.3 update.
