How to get different patient visuals from same track?

[ FlexSim HC 5.3.10 ]

I wanted to have different visuals but did not want to give different tracks so I added different PCI but on running the model only man is coming(only PCI 1 is working).

How to resolve this issue? Model is attached along. @Matthew Gillespie @Ben Wilson @Cliff King @David Chan

I took your model and and added the 5 PCI's like you had shown in your screen shot, then in the arrivals I used a "By Percentage" option for the hourly arrivals so that each PCI had an equal chance of being created. Then in your Custom arrivals table, I did a similar thing by using the P() expression to assign a percentage to each PCI number. Once the Arrivals object knew how often to create the different PCI's it seemes to work how you wanted it.

Hope this Helps!

The model is working fine but it is also working when I unchecked 'Activate hourly arrivals'.

The model is working alone with custom arrivals then what is the need of hourly arrivals?

Those options are just to give you more control over what kind of pattern the patient arrivals follow. For example, the hourly arrivals give you a table row for each hour of the day which allows you to say how many patients arrive in that hour interval. Custom arrivals gives you a row to define your own interval of time; so instead o a strictly hourly pattern, you could have data for how arrivals occur over a custom 4 hour period or something similar.
