Entity Batch Splitter
Split batch entities
Libraries:
SimEvents
Description
The Entity Batch Splitter block splits a batched entity into its individual entities and outputs each entity through the output port. A batched entity is the output of the Entity Batch Creator block.
To customize actions when entities enter, exit, and are blocked or unbatched, enter
MATLAB® code in the Entry action
, Exit
action
, Blocked action
, or Unbatch
action
field of the Event actions tab.
Examples
Group Entities Using Batching
Create, process, and split batched entities using Entity Batch Creator and Entity Batch Splitter blocks. In the model, an Entity Generator block is used to represent produced parts in a facility. The parts are batched by an Entity Batch Creator block. A batch is processed by an Entity Server block. When the processing is complete, the batch is split into individual parts by the Entity Batch Splitter block for their delivery.
Generating and Initializing Entities
Different ways to generate and initialize entities and their attribute values.
Optimization of Shared Resources in a Batch Production Process
Identify resource deficiencies and improve capacity planning in a system that shares resources.

Parameters
Specify the behavior of the entity on certain events. For example, the
Entry action is called when the entity enters the
block. To customize actions when entities enter, exit, or are unbatched or
blocked, enter MATLAB code in the Entry action
, Exit
action
, Unbatch action
, or Blocked
action
field of the Event actions tab.
