Utilization Table Template

Overview and Key Concepts

This template creates a table chart with two columns, Object and Utilization. The object column shows the path to the included objects, relative to the model. The Utilization column shows the current utilization of each object. Utilization can only be calculated for non-content holding objects and is defined as the total cumulative throughput relative to the maximum possible throughput so far. For example, if the output of a source is at the maximum flow rate for the first 400 time units and at half of the maximum flow for the next 600 time units, the utilization after 1000 time units is ((400 time units × 100%) + (600 time units × 50%)) / (1000 time units) = 70%.

Chart Types

This section describes the Table Template. The Utilization can be visualized using the following chart templates:

  • Bar chart (current value)
  • Table (current value)

The Options Tab

The Options tab has the following properties:

  • Objects - Specifies the objects to include on the chart. See Adding Objects for more information.

The Text Tab

The Text tab is identical to the Table Settings tab. For more information, see Table Text Tab.

The Advanced Tab

This template, like all templates, uses the Advanced Tab. For more information, see Advanced Tab.
