Hi all,

I wanted to pose this question as I've struggled with understanding how to get this functionality working in Factory Flow Simulation.

How to Simulate the behaviour of Discrete Curing or Oven Processes? Where we insert the part into say a Tank. The requirements are:
1. The Capacity is based on the size. (We can get around this by using the weight of the product as a proxy of size)
2. Curing of many parts can be run in parallel. I.e We can insert new Parts into the Oven whilst others are processing, assuming there is capacity.
3. Inserting a new Part doesn't impact the curing duration of other parts.
4. The resource is defined as an NC machine so we can apply shift patterns and get the simulation will track the utilisation as a NC machine.

Attached is a diagram showing what i'm looking to understand how to Simulate.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you,
Nicholas
