Step Wise Solution

The document provides steps for building a FlexSim model including: 1) Creating objects like sources, queues, processors and sinks and connecting them with fixed and mobile resources. 2) Configuring the source to generate items with random types and colors. 3) Configuring buffers to send items to ports based on expressions and using operators for transport. 4) Setting up experimenter scenarios, performance measures and runs to analyze the model's output over time.

Steps In Building FlexSim

Model
Starting Model Settings

• Click on New model


• Set model units and click on ok
• Time Units – minutes
• Length Units - Meters
3d Model Building

Create Objects :
Drag and drop objects from
library
• Source – 1, Queue- 1, Processor-3
• Sink -1, Dispatcher -1, Operator-1
• Name the objects
• Double-click on it, change its name at the top of
the Properties window, and press Apply or OK
• Name of the objects can be made as described in
the video/ problem description
Connecting Objects – Fixed And Mobile Resources

Use A- Connection
• Connect Source to Buffer1
• Connect Buffer1 to Machine1
• Connect Buffer1 to Machine2
• Connect Buffer1 to Machine3
• Connect Machine1 to Sink
• Connect Machine2 to Sink
• Connect Machine3 to Sink
• Connect Dispatcher to Operator

Use S – Connection
• Connect Buffer1 to Dispatcher
Source

• Open the property window of the source


• Choose default inter-arrival time
• Create an on exit trigger
• Select the option data>set item type and
colour>duniform(1,3)
Buffer Configuration

• Open the property window of the Buffer


• Open the flow tab
• Select the by expression option in the send to
port
• Check use transport to use the operator for
transport
Experimenter Scenario Configuration

• Open the experimenter tab using the statistics


button
• Create a scenario variable – number of
operators and add four scenarios
Experimenter Performance Measure Configuration

• Open the performance measure tab


• Create the performance measure using the “+”
sign
• Change the performance measure name to
output
• Add sink input as the performance measure
using the performance measure field
Experimenter Run Configuration And Results

• Open the experimenter run tab


• Set the replications per scenario as 1
• Set the run time as 4320 minutes
