How to add the weight and volume constraint to flowitem

[ FlexSim 22.0.0 ]

Hello, I am working on paint shop optimization model. I have to optimize the load bar using weight and volume as constraint, I am using flowitem as loadbar on paint shop on conveyor.

I want to hang the part on loadbar and it should check the loadbar weight and volume capacity and provide number of loadbar required to paint number of part. But because flowitem don't have option to add weight and volume i am unable to compete model

is there any other way to solve problem

You can add labels for weight and volume to the flowitems and reference those in any logic you build. (Have I misunderstood?)
