ARENA: Statistical Analysis on an Hourly Basis

[Paul]

Hi everone,

my system reveals several peak times due to a dynamic arrival pattern. Even though my model's replication length is one week, I'd like to build one-hour-intervals for my analysis in order to get the hourly number of arrivals, number of entities in queues per hour, resource utilization, etc. per hour X on weekday Y. Is there a simple way to let Arena itself or the Output Analyzer analyze my output data on an hourly basis? And if not, how to get this kind of data?

I have already tried to assign attributes or variables with the current simulation hour but I didn't make to collect the corresponding data within a Record module. Another way could be the "User Specified Collection Parameters" in the Statistic module but this didn't work with counters.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Paul
