Modelling of equipment variable.

Variable NameModelling TechniqueModelling Description

EquipmentComparative ExpressionAn IF logic is used for modelling an “equipment” node. The threshold for number of cranes and straddle is considered to be one In order to perform the regular operation, the port equipment requirements will be met (true state) if the number of cranes and straddle is more than one and otherwise not (false state).
