Troubleshooting common simulation errors and how to fix Them

Understanding simulation errors

Summary: This article explains common reasons why simulations may produce errors and provides guidance on how to address these issues.

Common causes of simulation errors

  1. Multiple scheduling strategies:

    • Having multiple scheduling strategies can lead to conflicts, especially if tasks are scheduled and then rescheduled before there is enough time for them to be executed. This can result in simulation failures.

  2. Presence of strategy slots:

    • The presence of multiple strategy slots can complicate the scheduling process. If tasks are not properly aligned with the available resources, it can lead to errors during simulation.

  3. Resource constraints:

    • Errors can occur due to resource constraints, such as when a vessel is not available for a task or when there are scheduling conflicts. This can prevent the simulation from running successfully.

  4. Incorrect task assignments:

    • If tasks are not assigned correctly to the appropriate vessels, it can lead to errors. For example, if a vessel is set to perform tasks that it is not equipped for, the simulation may fail.

  5. Logistics utilization reports:

    • Reviewing logistics utilization reports can help identify inefficiencies or conflicts that may be causing simulation errors. These reports provide detailed information about the tasks performed by each vessel and their durations.

Troubleshooting steps

  • Simplify scheduling strategies:

    • If you encounter errors, consider simplifying your scheduling strategies by reducing the number of strategy slots to one. This can help eliminate conflicts and improve the likelihood of a successful simulation.

  • Check resource availability:

    • Ensure that all required vessels and resources are available and properly assigned to the tasks. If a vessel is not available, it may lead to simulation errors.

  • Review task assignments:

    • Verify that tasks are assigned to the correct vessels. Ensure that the vessels are capable of performing the tasks assigned to them.

  • Utilize reports:

    • Use logistics utilization reports to analyze the performance of your vessels and identify any potential issues that could lead to simulation errors.

Conclusion

Simulation errors can arise from various factors, including scheduling conflicts, resource constraints, and incorrect task assignments. By simplifying scheduling strategies, checking resource availability, and reviewing task assignments, you can improve the chances of successful simulations. Utilizing logistics reports can further aid in troubleshooting and optimizing your simulation setups. If issues persist, consider reaching out for additional support.
