DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION FILES
 

For running the 1 Manufacturer, 2 Suppliers, 2 Retailers and 2 Transportation Systems Supply Chain (latest)

Movie Files

simrun.avi - The simulation demo video. For best quality, run the file using RealPlayer and set the options as 'Full Screen Mode'

Arena Files

File Name Associated initialization file
Assembly (Manufacturer) init_assembly.txt
Supplier2 init_supplierB.txt
Retailer1 init_retailera.txt
Retailer2 init_retailerb.txt
Transporter init_transporter1.txt
NOTE: The Arena file and the corresponding initialization file has to be in the same directory

ProModel Files

File Name Associated initialization file Associated DLL file
Supplier1 init_suppliera.txt proSupplier1.dll
Transporter init_transporter.txt proTransAdapter.dll
NOTE: Copy model file, initialization file and the dll to the same directory.
Open the model file in promodel.
You need to make 2 changes in each of the ProModel files.
Change 1
Go to the menu option of Build>>More Elements>>External Files
There change the file name to the current directory of the associated DLL file.
Change 2
Go to the menu option of Build>>General Information
Click Initialization Logic button on the pop-up window.
There you will see the path for the initialization (.txt) file. Change it to the current path where the .txt file is.
Remember to include the double slashes (\\) in the path name.
