- Start with the 'Process Setup and Change Over' model
- Switch to the Flow Properties tab
- Select Additional Properties Definition
- Switch Parameter Context to Object
- Create a new variable here
- Select both 'P1' and 'P2' and Customize
- Select Process Extensions/Event Handling
- Under ObjectActivated Insert five lines
- Line 1 - Condition Action, Edit and Enter -
- Line 2 - Expression Action, Edit
- Select Obj_PartType from the left
- Enter 1 on the right
- Line 3 - Condition Action, Edit
- If there are more conditions you can select Else IF and enter a new condition. However because we only have two parts select Else
- Line 4 - Expression Action, Edit
- Select Obj_PartType from the left
- Enter 2 on the right
- Line 5 - Condition Action, Edit
- Next select 'Router'
- Go into Process/Object/Condition Routing
- Switch to Condition Based Routing
- Delete the Default Routing
- For Line 2 - Edit
- Enter Obj_PartType Smaller then 2
- Then set the Next Process to 'P3'
- For Line 3 - Edit
- Enter Obj_PartType > 1
- Then set the Next Process to 'P4'
- Select 'P1' and Customize
- Go into MTBF/MTTR/Priority/Availability/...
- Check Enable MTBF and Gate Behavior
- Change Time Based in to Seconds
- Set the Process Recovery Period to 20/30 Seconds
- Check Process Fails every
- Now select 'P2' and Customize
- Go into MTBF/MTTR/Priority/Availability/...
- Check Enable MTBF and Gate Behavior
- Change the Time Based in to Seconds
- Set Process Recovery Period to 20/30 Seconds
- Then check Process Fails
- Enter 5/10 times in a period of 3600 Seconds (1 hour)
- Switch to the Simulation tab
- As the model runs use the Selected Item Analysis window to view when 'P1' and 'P2' go from Running to Failure.
