Editing Assign Modules

Line: 10 to 10

One dimensional variables may be useful when a variable has a different value in a different situation. One dimensional variables may be assigned a new value by setting the Type to be ID Variable, and the Variable Name to the name of the variable to assign. It is then best to access the newly created variable by going to Basic Proces s and double clicking the Variable icon. Select the new variable and choose the Row to be the number of different values the ID variable could be and the New Value to the new value of the variable in each particular situation.

Changed:

<
< A good example of a ID variable is assigning the times a Receptionist must start work. This example is shown below.

>
> A good example of a ID variable is assigning the times a Receptionist must start work on different days during the week. This example is shown below.

Note: Row 1 represents Monday, Row 2 represents Tuesday...etc

Two dimensional variables may also be useful. They are implemented identically to one dimensional variables (above) except that the user can define the number of rows and the number of columns. A good example of a 2D variable is assigning a roster of when several receptionists must start work each day. This example is shown below.

Note: Row 1 represents Monday, Row 2 represents Tuesday...etc

Note: Column 1 represents Receptionist 1 (e.g. Mary) , Column 2 represents Receptionist 2 (e.g. Jenny)...etc

Attributes

Entities can have Attributes assigned to them. Each Attribute must be named and assigned a specific value.

Entity.Type is a special kind of attribute that refers to one of the specific types of entities defined in the model.

Entity.Picture is a special kind of attribute that stores the value of an entity's graphical picture to be used for animations within the Arena model.
