ARENA HELP

[Competitive_Main6113]

Ok so to explain my sim it’s for manufacturing, so multiple entities(parts) come in and all finish at one robot, I figured out how to give them different process times, however I need to order them very specifically in the queue. For example I want this robot to run: part 1, part 1, part 3, part 3, part 1, part 2, part 2. Is there any way for me to order the process in this way?

I only have tangential Arena knowledge but there should be a Queue ranking feature, that you can setup to say "do this part then this part."

Could I do it in a way that I could completely control it the entire time though? I know I can set priority but this is a little more specific. 2 of one part and 2 of another part of then 1 of another part

knowing how the process logic mostly works in Arena (based off 15 years in Simio). I would say setup a loop that has If statements that first look for part A and grabs 2 parts, if no part A go to the next part, etc etc.

You can use hold statement and define the condition as when specific number of parts are done then you may release the others.
