The VSource class is used to periodically inject entities (Vehicles) into a running simulation model. May act as an arrival generator. VSource is both a simulation Component and special SimActor and therefore runs in own thread.
Value parameters
- director
-
the director controlling the model
- esubtype
-
indicator of the subtype of the entities to be made
- iArrivalTime
-
the inter-arrival time distribution
- loc
-
the location of the source (x, y, w, h)
- makeEntity
-
the function to make entities of a specified type
- name
-
the name of the source
- units
-
the number of entities to make
Attributes
- Companion
- object
- Graph
