The PowerDesigner start is mapped to the SIMUL8 work entry point.
From the Simulation tab of the start property sheet, you can display the following SIMUL8 extended attributes:
Name |
Internal code |
Value |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
Capital cost |
FinanceCapitalCost |
0 |
Capital cost. Financial results are displayed in the SIMUL8 window |
Capital cost by unit |
FinanceCapitalCostByUnit |
0 |
Capital cost by work unit |
Time average |
InterArrivalTimeAverage |
10 |
Average time between two consecutive work items (in time units) |
Time bound lower |
InterArrivalTimeBoundLower |
10 |
Lower bound for the uniform timing distribution type. Samples from a uniform distribution are equally spread between the lower bound and the upper bound |
Time bound upper |
InterArrivalTimeBoundUpper |
11 |
Upper bound for the uniform timing distribution type. Samples from a uniform distribution are equally spread between the lower bound and the upper bound |
Time distribution |
InterArrivalTimeDistribution |
Exponential |
The start object can feed work by using different statistical distributions |
Time standard deviation |
InterArrivalTimeStandardDeviation |
0 |
Standard deviation for the normal timing distribution type. For the average distribution type, this standard deviation value is set to: average value / 4 |
