CHAPTER 1
NOTE
Discrete event-oriented simulation only shows the state changes of the model
components at certain points in time, not continually over time. When certain events
take place, certain model components change their state and thus control the
simulation. Plant Simulation considers these events in a discrete way, step by step.
The main advantage of this approach is, that Plant Simulation skips the time
between the events.
In addition, Plant Simulation is an object-oriented application, that allows child
objects to inherit properties from a parent object

NOTE
The VDI (German abbreviation for the Association of German Engineers)
recommendation 3633 (VDI Richtlinie 3633) defines accordingly: "simulation is a
procedure for the reproduction of a system with its dynamic processes in an
experimentable model, in order to arrive at realizations, which are transferable to
the reality. In the broader sense by simulation preparing, accomplishing and
evaluating purposeful experiments with a simulation model are understood. With
the help of the simulation the temporal expiration operational sequence of complex
systems can be examined."
ASIM is a simulation conference held every year in Germany for approximately the
last 20 years. According to their website: “The goal of the Symposium on
Simulation Techniques is the exchange of information and experience between
experts from industry, science, and education.”

NOTE:
Plant Simulation is a Discrete Event simulation tool. In other words, a dynamic
simulation of manufacturing processes over time. It allows you to perform stochastic
(partially unpredictable) experiments of your manufacturing facility; for statistical
modeling of facilities where throughput, machine capacity constraints, queuing
constraints, are important.

NOTE:
The object-oriented structure of Plant Simulation allows greater flexibility and
maintainability of complex, changing models. The model is made up of a collection
of units (objects) that act on each other. Each object can receive, process, and
send data. Each object can be viewed as an independent little machine or actor
with a distinct role or responsibility.
Simple objects (parent objects) can be used as the building blocks to create more
complex objects (child objects). This is call inheritance.

CHAPTER 1
CAUTION:
Be aware that changing the structure and the names of folders in an existing
simulation model may cause this model to not function any more.
Renaming a Folder
You can rename an object in several ways:
✦ _ó=ÇçìÄäÉJÅäáÅâáåÖ=áíK=
✦ _ó=éêÉëëáåÖ=íÜÉ=xcOz=âÉóK=
✦ _ó=ëÉäÉÅíáåÖ=oÉå~ãÉ=çå=íÜÉ=êáÖÜí=ÅäáÅâ=ãÉåìK===
NOTE
For all objects except folders: when selecting Rename from the right click menu,
the Rename window is opened allowing entering a name and a label for the object.
We will talk more about labels later in this course.
=
NOTE
Another way to rename an open frame, make it the active window, press the [F4]
key, type in the new name into the Rename window, and click [OK].

NOTE
Optionally, a method object named reset can b e added to the frame. This method
will change the behavior of the Reset button on the Event Controller. This is
a method (we will learn more about methods later in this course). It is used to
delete MUs when the simulation is reset. The default is to leave the MUs in model.
This is not what we want in class. This can also be accomplished by checking the
Delete MUs on reset checkbox on the Settings tab of the Event Controller.

NOTE
The Statistics field in the Event Controller window represents the warm-up time. The default
value is zero. It is important to “warm-up” a simulation (i.e. run it until it reaches a steady
state) before collecting statistics.
NOTE
It is recommended to Reset and initialize the model before running any simulation.

NOTE
According to www.Wikipedia.org:
Sankey diagrams are a specific type of flow diagram, in which the width of the
arrows is shown proportionally to the flow quantity. They are typically used to
visualize energy or material transfers between processes. Sankey diagrams are
named after Irish Captain Matthew Henry Phineas Riall Sankey, who is considered
to have been the first to use this type of diagram in 1898 in a publication on the
energy efficiency of a steam engine

NOTE
Later in this course we will create a multi-hierarchical model. The Sankey will be
viewable on all levels of the models (i.e. within the sub-frames). However there
must be at least two supported object types at that level (i.e. SingleProc, Buffer,
etc…). A Sankey can be created for each MU type in the model.

If you skipped step 6 above, the method debugger will open when you try to start
the simulation (because the chart refers to Milling objects that no longer
exist at the specified level in your simulation). To stop the method debugger so that
you can do step 7, click Terminate Simulation in the Debugger window.

NOTE
• Erlang distribution - It was developed by A. K. Erlang to examine the number
of telephone calls which might be made at the same time to the operators of
switching stations. This work on telephone traffic engineering has been
expanded to consider waiting times in queuing systems in general (according to
wikipedia.com).
• Negative exponential distribution- The negative exponential distribution is
called negative because of the negative prefix of the exponent. Use it to
visualize times between independent events, and to model in-between arrival
times of customers in a service system, the duration of a repair job or the
absence of employees from their job site. The exponential distribution plays
an important role in reliability theory. The random life times of systems that fail
during a certain time interval regardless of their life time is distributed in an
exponential way.
• Weibull distribution - It was named after Waloddi Weibull. It can mimic the
behavior of other statistical distributions such as the normal and the
exponential for the analysis of failure rates (i.e. failure typically occur early,
occur randomly, or occur after heavy wear (according to wikipedia.com).

NOTE
MTTR is an abbreviation for Mean Time To Repair (i.e. the duration). 1,20:00
specifies to use random number stream 1 to vary the availability from the MTTR of
20 minutes. This is the way to specify failures when Availability is checked. When
it is not checked, the interval between failures can also be specified.

OPTIONAL MODELING METHOD:

Another good way to model this component, would be to model the
FeedTableTops as a Buffer with a Capacity of 4 (Processing Time of 0) and
FeedTableLegs as a Buffer with a Capacity of 16 (Processing Time of 0).
NOTES:
If you have Fix Side option set for connector positioning: Another option that can be
done is to rotate the object on the frame: Select the object in the frame. From the
Frame window menu, select Icons -> Rotate (or press [Ctrl]-[T]).
NOTES:
If you have Angle-dependant option set for connector positioning: your picture will
look different:

NOTE
For Sequence Cyclical the second column specifies how many MUs of each row
to create. For Random the second column specifies the percent of the MUs in the
row to create (in this case 70% and 30%). For the amount created to stabilize at
these frequencies on the Detailed Statistics Table (on the Drain), several
thousand objects should be created.

Exit Strategy Range Values: In this example we will specify where the MUs go
based on an attribute (3 legged table or 4 legged table). We could also specify
ranges to control where the final MU went. The Exit control would then need to be
a Method. We will discuss how to setup and use Methods later in this course.

When a Setup Time is specified on the Times tab, the definition of when setup is
performed is done on the Set-up tab. In this case we will take the defaults: Perform
setup automatically when the name of the MU changes. A matrix could also be
setup in which there is a different setup time to setup the current MU which
depends on which MU was last processed.

NOTE
In this model we define one worker doing his job at the SP1 station. As we see, the
worker is requested as soon as a part entered the SP1 station. The worker will be
released when the processing of the part is finished.
The worker goes back to the worker pool when not used. In the case where there
is no foot path defined, the worker will be beamed directly (like StarTrek) to the
worker pool and back to the station.

NOTE
However, when this option is combined with a ShiftCalendar, the worker has to be
told where to put the parts he is carrying when his shift ends. This is done by
specifying a PartsBuffer on the WorkerPool object. It can be any object that has
room to hold the parts when the shift ends.

NOTE
Dragging and dropping the Broker onto the SingleProc objects would only add it to
their Importer tabs (which is not needed in this case). Also do not check the
Active checkbox on the Importer tab of S1 or S2 for now. This would require
adding another WorkPlace at the SingleProc objects (if you have more than one
worker): One for the station worker and one for the worker to carry the part away.

The part then requests a Worker. The parts wait at the station until the Worker
arrives and picks them up. In order for this to work, a Broker must be specified on
the Edit Strategy tab.

To prevent the Worker from waiting too long for additional parts to arrive, you have
to enter the Maximum dwell time. After it has passed, he walks to the target
station, the MU target. In our example we do not need to do this.

The front-activated exit controls for length oriented objects overrides the default
exit strategy of Plant Simulation. You are responsible for moving the MU.
However, we are not using any in this exercise.
NOTE
L2 Front Exit control will take place before the L3 entrance control. Also the L2 rear
exit control will happen after the L3 entrance.

NOTE
Technically, we are not changing the color of the TableTop. We are changing the
current icon for the TableTop. It just so happens that this TableTop MU has icons
that are named the same as colors. Knowing this, how would you go about adding
a black table? There are a few steps: add black to the ColorTable, modify the
Method to increment one more (if needed), and add another icon to the TableTop
MU (i.e. right click it and select Edit Icons, etc…) called black.

CHAPTER 7
NOTE
The code that we wrote for the assembly method assumes that when you assembly
a TableLeg that a TableTop is waiting in the container in the MainEntrance station.
This was a bad assumption. In this case, the first pallet that came through does not
contain a table.
There are at least two solutions to this problem:
• Option 1: Modify the method so that it does not try to assemble a TableLeg
unless the pallet contains a TableTop (a.k.a. only if MainEntrance.cont not
VOID).
• Option 2: Modify the attributes for the .TestAssemblyMethod.TransferStation
so that the target pallet will always stop at the station, no matter if there are
enough parts of the right type to be loaded or not (Check the Always stop
containers checkbox on the Advanced attributes of the load TransferStation
object window).

NOTE
By default (without a method) the Transporter just moves to the end of the track and
stops there. We need to create a method (Loading) for the Transporter to wait until
a part is loaded before it moves to the end of the track. Next we need to add
another method (Unloading) to unload the part and move the transporter back to
the beginning.

NOTE
The Trigger could be used to change the icon of a frame when ever it is paused (i.e.
the other icon might not include the person). Typically a trigger is used to call a
method when makes something happen. The trigger will not do much without a
method.

NOTE
In general, the set-up time for changing the type from A to B is different from the
time needed for the change from B to A. Therefore the set-up time is described by a
set-up matrix. The row index designates the source type. The column index
designates the target type. At the beginning the station is set up for none type,
described by -. Consequently we need a corresponding row in the set-up matrix.
It is possible that the set-up time is necessary after a certain number of parts.
Therefore the set-up matrix also contains entries for [“A“,“A“].

Calculate the set-up time for each type:
• Change - A: 60 min, 1 change A A: 30 min = 90 min, Mean value = 9:00
• Change A B: 150 min, 3 changes B B: 40 min = 270 min, Mean value = 13:30
• Change B C: 270 min, 5 changes C C: 50 min = 520 min, Mean value = 17:20
• Check this calculation by the type depending statistics prepared by the Drain

Normally the user will press the Reset button before a simulation starts and
after the simulation has ended. In this case, the first line above would empty the
.XLS if pressed before the simulation ran. If pressed after the simulation ran, it
would write the contents of the table to the .XLS file. If you don’t want it to run
before the simulation is run, place this line within an IF statement with a
Throughput_Log.Ydim > 1 criteria.

A better solution:
=
NOTES:
This solution is better because it will only search the needed number of rows,
whereas the other solution searches every row every time. So it should be quicker.
Also, the setCursor line helps it to not “get lost”.

NOTE
The built in find method has not been used yet:
Usage: <path>.find(<any>);
<path>.find(<listrange>,<any>);
It finds the argument <any> in the object designated by <path>. Plant Simulation
searches between the range you enter and the position of the cursor, for tables the
position of both cursors. When it finds a value, the method returns true and sets the
cursor onto that cell. It returns false when it did not find the value. If several
<values> exist, Plant Simulation sets the cursor onto the first one it finds. A new
search starts at the position after the last result and returns the next entry.

NOTE
The built in delete method has been used so far to delete the entire contents of the
destination TableFile. However, it can also be used to delete specific rows or
columns from the TableFile as well:
Usage: <path>.delete[(<any>, ..., <any>)];
The method delete deletes all data, including formulas, in all cells of the list or of the
range designated by the argument(s) <any> only:
• When you do not enter an argument, Plant Simulation deletes the contents of
all cells.
• When you enter a range, Plant Simulation only deletes that range or ranges
designated by the argument(s) <any>, ..., <any>. Note that you have to delete
the customized index for tables explicitly by entering row 0 or column 0.
