.DESLib.SIMANLib.Blocks.Create

Information

This block represents the source for arriving entities to the system. It creates entities, that start flowing through the system.

The EntityType identifies the type of entities that will be generated.
The interval defines the inter-arrival time between entity creation. It can be any of the probability distributions included in the RandomLib library. Depending on the selected distribution, the parameters p1, p2, p3 and p4, have to be set up.
The Batch_size defines the number of entities that will be simultaneously generated at each arrival.
The Maximum_batches is the maximum number of entities that will be generated by this block (-1 means infinite).
And the First_creation is the generation time for the first entity or batch.

If the IN port of the block is connected, an entity is generated every time a message is received (instead of using the generation interval).
