SimTalk Tutorial (English) - 3. Variables

Third video in the series of tutorials where we will learn to program from scratch in SimTalk, the Plant Simulation programming language, without the need for prior experience. In this chapter we will talk about Variables, one of the cornerstones of any programming language.

hello, can please help me with my problem- i have 3 different parts and they all have one operation in common but have different processing time and after completion of the opeartion on that station, the parts has to go to there respective different station. can you give the syntax to my problem. it would be very helpfull

Hello @planetgamer5247, thank you for your comment. You could easily solve this problem setting the process time of the shared operation as a list, and assigning different processing times to each part in a data table. You can find an example of this in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4LSdqVph9aVf5Ysi=90Yw_hxCRxZ2pyGi After that, using the exit strategy of the station each part can be sent to their corresponding operations. However, if you'd like to solve this using SimTalk, I would place an Entrance Control in the Station and simulate the processing time with the function "wait". After that, you could simply move the part to the next station. If the process time and destinations for each part were saved in a DataTable, the code would be something like this: wait DataTable["ProcessTime",@.Name] @.move(DataTable["Destination",@.Name]) I hope this solves your problem.
