How to offset multiple operators around processor?

In my model, I use process flow to have operators travel to the processor. Is there a way I can control exactly where they go so that they aren't all standing on top of the processor. multiple-resources.fsm

If you want the operators simply to not be standing on the processor after they travel there, simply add a Travel to Loc task in their sequence of tasks and set the coordinates to where you want them to travel. (In the case of the example I simply had them travel to the coordinates of the processor -1 to have them standing on the left side of the processor.)

I've reattached your model with the Travel to Loc activity added.

Thank you for your response, @Sam Stubbs. Is there a way to not put them on top of each other? In the Travel to Loc example they all stand in the same place. I would like to orient them around the processor, like one on each side of the square. I would have to add many more operators, so I can't have 100 operators standing on top of each other.

they stand at same place because the location coordinates are the same in the travel to location task. If you plan to call more operators and place them dynamically around the processor, You call a sub task and create a tasksequence with different locations. You compute the location for example in an OnMessage Trigger and there the callsubtask is referenced to.
