Scaling service time proportionally within an entity processor

[Vinith Gollapudi]

Hi all,

I had a very quick basic question. What I would like to do is scale the Service time within an EntityProcessor proportioanlly by the same amount factor of entities it is working on currently. e.g. 1 entity gives a service time of two hours, 3 entities gives a service time of 6 hours.

Within the Service Time field I put in: 2 * [SM/A].EntiySize
With SM/A being the name of the EntityProcessor.

The Jaamsim software comes up with an error but dont know what to use for it? Would someone be able to help me please? :)

Best wishes,
Vinith

EntiySize (and EntitySize) are not valid outputs for EntityProcessor. Use the Input Builder to help you build an input expression with the correct syntax.

Your ServiceTime input should probably be something like: '2[h] * this.UnitsInUse'

Hi Harry and team, 

Thank you for responding Harry. 

In the same vein of solving this problem for my simulation, I am now trying to have ServiceTime within an EntityProcessor scale proportionally with an InputValue (Client_Projects), which in my case is 10. 

Client_Projects is an InputValue, which I have valued at 10.0, with UnitType DimensionlessUnit. 

The formula within ServiceTime, I want to write something like ’0.5 [h] * Client_Projects’, however this is not a valid input.

I have tried the below screen shot, which seems to work, but Ideally I would like to reference the “Client”Projects” InputValue in the ServiceTime only. I tried using the InputBuilder but couldnt find a way unfortunately. Would anyone know how to do this? 

Best wishes, 

Vinith

To use an InputValue in an expression, you must reference its 'Value' output, i.e.

'0.5[h] * [Client_Projects].Value'
