I'm sorry it's in german..
1I have a problem with a pickup element in AnyLogic. I have two agents: pallets and pieces.
If an order arrives I combine the two with a pickup element (pallet in inPort) with "at least 4 pieces" and I also set up a parameter on the Agent pallet with the name amountofpieces.
I now want to know exactly how many pieces there are in the container pallet, so that I can add the amount of pieces to my stock variable.
With: Agent.amountofpieces = container.contents().size() I get a error note.
Also Agent.amountofpieces = pallet.contents().size() is not working.
I later want to add it to a variable (name: stock). My code now is: stock += + Agent.amountofpieces.
Do you maybe have an idea how to solve it?
Or is there another posibility to get the amount of agents that went out as "one" new agent?
I found a solution :)
agent.contents().size() works without any parameters or anything else.

So I have created a huge screen that essentially just shows the robot status for every robot in this factory (individually)… At the very end of the project, they decided they want one object on the screen that blinks if any of the 300 robots fault. I am trying to think of a way to make this work. Maybe a global script of some kind? Problem is, I do not do much scripting in Cimplicity, so any help is appreciated.
All the points that are currently used on this screen (to indicate a fault) have very similar names… as in, the beginning is the same… so I was thinking of a script that could maybe recognize if a bit is high based on PART of it's string name characteristic. The end will change a little each time, but I am sure there is a way to only look for part of a string and negate the rest. If the end has to be hard coded, that's fine.
You can use a Python script in Cimplicity.
I will not go into detail on the use of python in Cimplicity, which is well described in the documentation indicated above.
Here's an example of what can be done... note that I don't have a way to test it and, of course, this will work if the name of your robots in the declaration follows the format Robot_1, Robot_2, Robot_3 ... Robot_10 ... Robot_300 and it also depends on the Name and the Type of the fault variable... as you didn't define it, I imagine it can be an integer, with ZERO indicating no error. But if you use something other than that, you can easily change it.
import cimplicity
(...)
OneRobotWithFault = False
# Here you get the values and check for fault
for i in range(0, 300):
pointName = f'MyFactory.Robot_{i}.FaultCode'
robotFaultCode = cimplicity.point_get(pointName)
if robotFaultCode > 0:
OneRobotWithFault = True
break
# Set the status to the variable "WeHaveRobotWithFault"
cimplicity.point_set("WeHaveRobotWithFault", OneRobotWithFault)
Good day,
I'm trying in AnyLogic to make block "Ped Select Output" (from Pedestrian library) select output based on the received message, using the command in conditions table receive("go");. This block is located in Main, while the message is supposed to be sent from the agent tab (MyAgent) using the command send("go", main.pedSource);. Yet if I try to launch this model I get the error "Type mismatch, cannot convert void to boolean". I believe I have incorrectly selected one of the commands (or maybe both), thus I hope for advice about it. Thanks in advance for the answer.
P.s. check screenshots, for more detailed information.
P.p.s. the model, that is presented on screenshots is just an oversimplified example of the real model (that's why 4 out of 5 outputs of the block are connected to one place).
main
agent
Each condition in the selectoutput should return a boolean... a boolean can be true or false
Some example of booleans are 3==2, 5>4, agent.priority==1, etc
These things are booleand because they are true or false
you are putting in the condition a function that doesn't return anything (receive) and I have absolutely no idea what is in your head that would suggest that this might work in any way...
I suggest you add a variable in your ped agent that defines what the pedestrian should do...
I'm having a problem when I use the "Split model" option. What I want to do is basically hide these 10 water volumes:.
I select the tanks then I click on button for splitting with these options:
Final result is just what I want:
When I check the entire model to verify if everything is ok, these errors come out:
I've tried several things such as modifying the text part of the splitted model with no positive results, here's the original NOT modified
Can you please explain to me what kind of error it is? How can I resolve it? Thank you.
Edit: I'm using TIL library
Edit after Markus' answer: in the split model is it necessary to declare the type of liquid and change the portArray definition. I copied these lines of code and everything worked!
parameter TILMedia.LiquidTypes.BaseLiquid liquidType = sim.liquidType1
"Liquid type" annotation (Dialog(tab="SIM",group="SIM"),choices(
choice=sim.liquidType1 "Liquid 1 as defined in SIM",
choice=sim.liquidType2 "Liquid 2 as defined in SIM",
choice=sim.liquidType3 "Liquid 3 as defined in SIM"));
replaceable package MediaConfiguration =
TIL.Utilities.MediaConfiguration
constrainedby TIL.Utilities.Internals.PartialMediaConfiguration
"Media and State Type Configuration" annotation (choicesAllMatching, Dialog(
tab="SIM", group="Media Configuration"));
protected
outer TIL.SystemInformationManager sim "System information manager";
and
public
TIL.Connectors.LiquidPort portArray(
final liquidType=liquidType) ;
TIL.Connectors.LiquidPort portArray1(
final liquidType=liquidType) ;
The issue seems to result from the vectorization of the connectors, that seems to get lost when using "split model". A bit difficult without the actual model, but:
Have you tried to modify the last two connect statements in str3000 to:
connect(portArray, colume.portArray[1])
connect(portArray1, colume.portArray[2])
Additionally on the top level of the model, it seems you have connections to vectors of str3000.portArray. Try to remove them as they seem to be wrong, as you have two non-vector ports.
There should be something like connect(str3000.portArray[1], ...) and connect(str3000.portArray1[2], ...), which should likely be changed to connect(str3000.portArray, ...) and connect(str3000.portArray1, ...).
My source has the following code in "On at exit" field:
TRUCK.ID_number = parameter;
parameter = parameter + 1;
Then, each truck will receive an ID: 1, 2, 3, ...
The problem is that All the trucks are circulating at the same time and it looks like everytime a new truck is generated and the code runs it resets the ID for all trucks.
For example: When truck 4 (ID = 4) is created at the source all the other trucks receive ID 4 so I cannot know the correct ID of each truck.
What am I doing wrong?
a few things. First, you need to use the keyword agent in the onExit code box. So in your case, agent.ID_number=parameter. Please read up on these specific keywords that pop up everywhere in AnyLogic code boxes. I call it the "magic lightbulb", also see my blog on that topic:
The magic lightbulb
Second, newly created agents automatically get a unique index (if they belong to the same population). You can access that using the getIndex() method inside your truck agent.
The answer is: Use entity.ID_number=parameter
I need to categorize a dataset according to different age groups. The categorization depends on whether the Sex is Male or Female. I first subset the data by gender and then use the ordinal function (dataset is from a Matlab example). The following code crashes on the last line when I try to vertically concatenate the subsets:
load hospital;
subset_m=hospital(hospital.Sex=='Male',:);
subset_f=hospital(hospital.Sex=='Female',:);
edges_f=[0 20 max(subset_f.Age)];
edges_m=[0 30 max(subset_m.Age)];
labels_m = {'0-19','20+'};
labels_f = {'0-29','30+'};
subset_m.AgeGroup= ordinal(subset_m.Age,labels_m,[],edges_m);
subset_f.AgeGroup = ordinal(subset_f.Age,labels_f,[],edges_f);
vertcat(subset_m,subset_f);
Error using dataset/vertcat (line 76)
Could not concatenate the dataset variable 'AgeGroup' using VERTCAT.
Caused by:
Error using ordinal/vertcat (line 36)
Ordinal levels and their ordering must be identical.
Edit
It seems that a vital part was missing in the question, here is the answer to the corrected question. You need to use join rather than vertcat, for example:
joinFull = join(subset_f,subset_m,'LeftKeys','LastName','RightKeys','LastName','type','rightouter','mergekeys',true)
Solution of original problem
It seems like you are actually trying to work with the wrong variable. If I change all instances of hospitalCopy into hospital then everything works fine for me.
Perhaps you copied hospital and edited it, thus losing the validity of the input.
If you really need to have hospitalCopy make sure to assign to it directly after load hospital.
If this does not help, try using clear all before running the code and make sure there is no file called 'hospital' in your current directory.
