Anylogic: Measuring time spent in service

Question

In the following model Image the graph visualizes the service block's utilization. However, this utilization represents the average number of agents being processed.

I would like to find out the amount of time the service block is delaying agents during the model's total run time. This would provide me with a more accurate representation of the capacity utilization. Is this possible?

you can use a dataset or a statistics element (found in the analysis palette) or even a collection and add values like this:

On enter delay:

agent.enterTime=time();

On exit (or on at exit)

data.add(time()-agent.enterTime);

Of course this requires you to add a variable called enterTime in your agent.

This would not work with an assembler since it creates a new agent correct? – Daan Nov 13 '18 at 13:30
you are correct, with the assembler it would be different – Felipe Nov 13 '18 at 14:19
