[ FlexSim 20.0.3 ]

I have a process that send items through a conveyor and the conveyor has to send it to the first rack avaliable, it stays there for some time and then goes through another conveyor..

How do I let the conveyor know which rack send itens to based on rack avaliability?

@victoria.m2,

You can set up Decision Points or other logic that will check how many subnodes each of the racks have. You can send the items to the racks that have the fewest items this way, or you can adjust the logic to look for something different. I updated your model to include an idea to get you started.
