I want to do a simulation in Arena simulation based on real life data.
More specifically I want to investigate the influence of the number of doctors present on the emergency department on patient waiting times.
Operations at the department are fairly straightforward and I've also got multiple years of patient arrival data (precise to minute) available.
The only thing that is left for me to do is import the data (which I've got covered) and feed it to the Arena in order to create patients at pre-recorded times.
However I'm completely stuck on how to do proceed with the last part.
Can someone advice me on how to use externally imported data (inter-arrival times) in order to create patients, thereby 'replaying' reality?
Dear Michiel Vinke,
I suggest you to see links and attached files in topic.

Best regards
It is very easy to incorporate out side data in ARENA software. You can download tutorials from U-Tube.
Hi Michiel Vinke , May I know if you have done this step? I'm stuck with the same problem, I tried to read the files they share with you above but I didn't get it that much and I wasn't able to apply it. Please if you could help me and show me the way I can do it.
Thanks in advance
