On Time

Name of the Transition inside the logic.

This name can be used to retrieve the object (instance) in case user wants to activate it from source code.

 

If a Transition is part of a Group, it will be named here.

A Group can also be part of another Group, thus, a Group name will be the concatenation of all nested Group names: group1::group2::..::group3 (here, group3 being the deepest one).

 

Select on which condition the Transition must activate or deactivate the object it is linked to:

 

 

By default, when a Transition is triggered, it will not be reactivated even if the same condition occurs.

If Persistent mode is selected, the Transition reactivates itself automatically after start and is ready at next cycle.

This might lead to unwanted behavior.

 

When Fixed Time is selected, as soon as the specified time is elapsed, the Transition triggers.

For i.e: if the Transition is connecting Task A with Task B with a Fixed Time set to10 seconds. If the Logic is triggered 1 minute after the simulation start, then the Transition will be triggered 1 minute 10 seconds after the simulation start and Task A will be left for Task B.

 

If this option is checked (for Fixed or Random Time), the specified Time is according to the simulation time.

Transition triggers when the simulation time is greater than the given fixed or random time

 

A random value (according to the Distribution) will be taken at Transition initialization. This random value between Min and Max values will act as Fixed Time.

 

 

Linear: Random values are distributed equally between Min and Max

Gaussian: Random values are distribution according to a Gaussian curve between Min and Max. Mid-term has the highest probability of occurrence.

 

Specify here the Event or Fact that will be triggered after activation of the Transition (optional).

 

 

Write here the code you like to be run once after the activation of the Transition.

Put here whatever description of information useful to the designer to understand what the Transition is about.

The help part is also used in the hint and the automatic document generation (see Make Documents).
