How do I make a 3D object appear/disappear during my simulation?

[ FlexSim 23.0.4 ]

I am running an A* simulation for ships traveling to different ports. An agent system is in place to slow the ships down once they collide with a 'storm' and return to normal speed once they exit. This is an attempt to simulate real weather conditions.

How do I make the 'storm' object appear and dissappear during the simulation, based on a time interval or given data?
