In my seize block, I have (alternative) resource sets selected and one resource pool in each list. Is there a way to set the delay time to be different depending on which resource pool the agent seizes a unit from?
Hi Allyson,
I am not 100% sure that I understand your question, so apologies if this is not what you are asking.
To customise delay time dependant on some attribute of the agent you can create a function that takes agent as input and returns delaye time. Within the function you can calculate or define the delay time based on the set of conditions associated with the agent's attributes. You can call such a function in delay time box for a delay or a service block.
I hope this helps.
In my opinion only by writing your own function, which takes as parameter the type of the agent and returns back the delay time.
Yes, there is a way. The delay function is defind as:
private double _Delay_delayTime_xjal( final com.anylogic.libraries.processmodeling.Delay self, Agent agent ) {
double _value;
_value =
/// Field in Anylogic GUI
triangular(...); // for example
///
return _value;
}
That implicates:
You can initialize this with null, and then you can add more with switch or if statements. like:
///eg.
if agend.get_resource_pool_id == 1
{
_value = lognormal();
}
else
{
_value = gamma();
}
Dear Leili,
See the previous answers, there are multiple ways of doing this.
It is not clear from your question why would you use the timeout instead of the delay? Timeouts are used when the delay process is interrupted and not completed.
If you have problems with Java programming you can watch the video by Nate Osgood on Java in AnyLogic at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjq0StjJynI&list=PLcAxwev2PmV8mYPYaQ_QMT78EXo5EYEL1
I hope this helps.
