Re: GET TIME VALUE for PLE Plus
No, Vensim PLE cannot read from external data files (which is what GET TIME VALUE does). The help system does mention that it is not available in PLE or PLE Plus.

Thank you.
Re: GET TIME VALUE for PLE Plus
What do you need it for? Maybe there's another way.

Re: GET TIME VALUE for PLE Plus
I am modeling arrival and departure rates of an entity which varies by hour-of-day.
For example, 6 entities may arrive at simulation time (in hours) 7, 3 entities arrive at hour 10, 3 depart at hour 12, etc.
I need to specify these arrival and departure rates by simulation time.
Thanks!

Re: GET TIME VALUE for PLE Plus
You could put them in a lookup.

So do you only want the simulation time?SteveVijayan wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 1:03 pm I am modeling arrival and departure rates of an entity which varies by hour-of-day.

Re: GET TIME VALUE for PLE Plus
Yes, thats correct. I am looking to create a table based on simulation time.
Re: GET TIME VALUE for PLE Plus
arrivals = arrival table(time/unit time)
unit time == 1 ~ with unit of whatever your time unit is; this suppresses warnings
arrival table ( { make this a lookup containing your data } )
unit time == 1 ~ with unit of whatever your time unit is; this suppresses warnings
arrival table ( { make this a lookup containing your data } )
