Custom Statistics

This functionality is available in iGrafx Process and above

Custom statistics can be combinations of standard statistics or expressions. They are updated and calculated automatically with each simulation run.

Custom statistics do not automatically appear in your simulation report. To add custom statistics to a report, you must add Report Elements to a report page.

In the Edit Custom Statistic dialog box, enter a name to describe the statistic,. Statistic type (Transaction, for example) and statistic. Optionally, click Hidden to toggle the hidden option. The definition of the custom statistic appears on the Custom tab in the Report window unless you select Hidden in the Edit Custom Statistic dialog box.

Custom Statistics Examples

In this Transaction statistics example, TotalOrders equals the number of transactions that complete.

TotalOrders = Completion Count

In this Resource statistics example, InUse equals the time busy for resource named Laser.

InUse = Laser Time Busy

In this Monitor statistics example, TotalCount equals the number of transactions that have come through a monitor.

TotalCount = Pass Count

In this Expression statistics example, the wage rate is $15 per hour:

Wage = 15 * Hours(Time)

Use the Expression Builder to combine attributes, functions, members, and other customs statistics to create an expression for the new custom statistics (see Expressions).
