Please show your Arena simulation model (*.doe file)

Trucks arrive with EXPO(9.1) inter-arrival times (all times are in minutes) to an unload area that has three docks. The unload times are TRIA(25, 28, 30), TRIA(23, 26, 28) and TRIA(22, 25, 27) for docks 1, 2, and 3, respectively. If there is an empty dock, the truck proceeds immediately to that dock. Assume zero travel times to all docks. If there is more than one empty dock, the truck places preference on the higher-numbered dock (3,2,1). If all the docks are busy, it chooses the dock with the minimum number of trucks waiting. If there is a tie, it places preference on the lowest numbered dock (1, 2, 3). Develop a simulation model and run the model for 20,000 minutes and collect statistics for each dock, including utilization, number in queue, time in queue and the time in system for trucks using that dock. Write down your results next to your simulation model using Arena text tool.
