Lab Manual-Arena-3

This document describes a lab assignment to create a basic simulation model in Arena. The objectives are to explain simulation concepts, identify Arena tools, and create a model to analyze. Students will create a simulation of a manufacturing system consisting of parts being created and processed by a machine. The model uses Create, Process, Decide, Assign, and Dispose modules connected with attributes and variables to represent parts being created, processed, and either accepted or rejected. The assignment instructions provide steps to set up and run the simulation.

In Lab Activities:

A presentation about Simulation, Modeling and Arena will be shown during the lecture
while creating the simulation. Simulation system will consist of the following parts:

• Use the “Create” module to create the entities which will enter to the system

• Double click on “Create 1” and change its name to “Create Parts”. Write “Application” as
entity type. Change the “Units” to “Hours”. Define the “Value” as “2”; this means that 1
Part will arrive to the system every 2 hours through an exponential distribution.

• Drag a “Process” module, in front of the “Create parts” and connect them with
using the “Connect” button.

• Double –click on “Process 1” and change the name as “Process Parts”.


Add Machine 1 as a Resource and follow the below delay type

• Add a decide module and name it “Decide if part is accepted”


• Make sure the decision module is set to 2 way by chance

• Drag 2 “Assign” modules for the true and false values of the decision

• If the Assign module is accepted name it “Count the accepted parts”.


• Add a Variable and name it as shown below

• If the Assign module is rejected name it “Number of Times Part is processed”.


• Add an Attribute and name it as shown below

• Connect the Assign module “Count the accepted parts” to the dispose.
Name the dispose as shown below

• The other assign module “Number of Times Part is processed” will be


connected to another Decide module.

• If true add an assign module “Count the Rejected Parts”.

• If false connect with the “process parts” module to re-process the bad parts.

• Click on “Idle” and click on the Empty Machine Picture (Drilling) as you can see in the
picture.

• Click on the double arrow- to-the-left : you defined the picture of the resource
when it is idle.
• Define the “Busy” picture of the resource as following the same way.(Use a working
picture of the drilling process )
