Hi.

I could not find here a Forum about "Arena sw simulation" from Rockwell.
Where can I post my doubt about this sw ?

I did both as a student and as a professional.
I only used it once though in my profession, when I used Arena to simulate 21 time-in/time-out server clocks catering to about 12 thousand persons going in/out of the factory.
What is your question about it?

Hi reynald

I am getting an error in my application and I can not tell where the problem is.
I am using the ARENA STUDENT version and the application is a simple example.

Maybe I can send the application, ok ?

Best regards.

Hi,
The screen shot does not say much. I will have to look into how you assigned variables/parameters. I will let you know as soon as I have access on Arena later.

Hi there,

I'm using Arena Simulation software since not too long ago.
I have the following issue:

First:
I have a resource (a doctor) who performs multiple activities. Sometimes he is available for outpatient consultations in the Outpatient Clinic, and sometimes he is doing surgery in the Operation Room. I am looking for a way to define his schedule: when will he be doing what. So far i've only discovered how to tell Arena that my resource is either available or not, but I don't know how to define availability for different types of activities.

Second:
I have patients arriving, and they need to be given an appointment before they can see the doctor. So I need the software to look into the doctor's schedule, see when he's doing the required activity during some time window in the future (e.g. two weeks from now, within a 1-week time window), then check if there's still room to see a patient, then schedule that patient for a specific date and time.

Then I can 'hold' the patient until simtime equals the specified appointment time, and the patient can go see his doctor.

Any idea how this can be done in Arena Simulation Software?
I've used Tecnomatix (Siemens) Plant Simulation before, and I could use a TableFile to list all the doctor's Outpatient Clinic sessions and Operation Room sessions for a full year, then at patient arrival I used code to check the availability in a certain time span in that TableFile, and write the patient into a certain time slot if there's room. In Arena, I can't find something equivalent to this TableFile where I can specify the doctor's activity types for the coming 300 days.

Thanks for all help :)
