Discover how to model a system with both continuous and discrete behavior. Arena incorporates full design into model to encompass each step including cycle times and manual actions. The concept showed successful for this specific situation and yielded results that showed viability in specific situations.

To build the model, the system was represented based on the schematic shown in the Figure 6 in the whitepaper referenced below, that has 4 main divisions: 1. Material arrival: this represents all material arrival at the system, and the process to choose its destination; 2. Material storage (stockpiles): represents the material handling at the yards, like the use of stacker and reclaimers, and the lanes choose to stock or remove the material; 3. Material consumption: the final destination of the materials. Some facilities receive materials but generate others, like the blendings producing mixtu
