Defining Resource Flow Simulation Properties

The resource flow does not have any SIMUL8 specific properties because there is no link object and symbol between a work center and a resource. However the resource flow link supports the resource simulation properties of the process.

From the Simulation tab of the resource flow property sheet, you can display the following SIMUL8 extended attributes:

Name

Extended attribute

Value

Description

Resource max number

ResourceMaxNumber

True

Maximum number of this type of resource required at the process. Change this from the same value as "Min" if the process can work faster if it can get more of this resource. Each additional resource found will reduce the time taken to complete the job

Resource min number

ResourceMinNumber

1

Minimum number of this type of resource required at the process. Change this from 1 if you need more than one unit of this resource to do tasks at this process

Resource require

ResourceRequire

Require Release

Release Only

Display Only

Require Only

If "Require": the resource must be available for the process to work. If "Release": the resource is released by the work item as soon as the task is complete
