Minimum wait time for queue

[rohan_vaidya]

How do I make every item wait in the queue for 'x' amount of time before releasing them from the queue?

@rohan vaidya

i have attached a model for your question in this each item will stay in queue 5 for 30 min before going to sink hope this will help you

You add a processor previous to the queue in the model flow and change the process time.

Hi, this works. But the queue can hold a total of 8 units at a time. I basically want to simulate a curing process. Referring to your file, an object should wait for 30 minutes in the queue and then move. But the queue should be able to hold 8 objects at a time. @gilbert jerald

You can extend the capacity of the processor. Then you get an object, that holds the items as long as the process time lasts.

if you are familiar with process flow you can use a custom Fixed Resource. I have sample model attached. 3944-listpull.fsm

I've created a small example of how you could do the same thing as what Gilbert Jerald was doing, but using a Process Flow. I used Zones with the the "Use Max Content" box checked to restrict the number of items on the processor, and especially in the queue as you designated to Gilbert Jerald.

@Kari Payton Hi, Thank you for your response. Its working as I want it to in the porcess flow environemnt but I cannot see 8 objects in the queue in the 3D environment. The 3D environment always has one object in the queue? Is it possible to visually show it as well?

@Rohan Vaidya I used a template from FlexSim library to set the locations. see updated model 3944-listpull.fsm

Hi , I think the question which you are asking is clearly explain by Mr. sam stubbs by inter linking process flow and 3d model check it out.if not means you can ask your question.

thank you
