Setting Availability parameters

You can associate Delay Points with Availability Profiles, to switch them ‘on’ or ‘off’ at specific times or in response to certain conditions in a simulation.

To set Availability parameters:

  1. If you want to link the Delay Point to an Availability Profile, click on the ‘Availability’ tab.
  2. Select an Availability Profile from the drop-down list labelled ‘Time Scope’. If you don’t want to apply conditions, proceed to step 7.
  3. If you want to apply conditions to the Availability Profile, check the box labelled ‘use condition’.
  4. Select an option from the left-hand drop-down list:
    • AND – the condition will apply only when the ‘Time scope’ settings and the conditional settings are both ‘true’.
    • OR – the condition will apply when either the ‘Time scope’ settings or the conditional settings are ‘true’.

    The OR option is useful in cases where, for example, you may wish to allow a higher number of Entities out of an exit when an unforeseeable instance of high density occurs at a time not covered by the Availability Profile.

  5. Set up your condition as described from step 4 of "To set up a Condition:" in Setting up Conditions .
  6. If you wish to apply any restrictions to the condition, click on the ‘Availability’ tab again and enter values for the following restrictions (details in Restrictions ):
    • Time before action
    • Minimum activity period
    • Maximum activity period
    • Minimum time between Actions
  7. Click OK to save the parameters.
