[ FlexSim 23.1.3 ]

Hi all,

Today I have got one query regarding packing output. Actually we know source output gives one item like a Box or pallet or cylinder etc. But I need one packed output from source like(Four boxes packed in one pallet) is there any possibility to get the output ???

Thankyou

1. You can create or move such a designed flow item into flowitem bin library like tree.
2. you can replace a 3D source by a queue and transfer a creation process into process flow.

I did not get what you mean by 3D source by a queue and transfer a creation process into process flow

[joerg_vogel_HsH]

@Rambabu, a process flow can create items anywhere in a model. Sometimes you need a centralized object that behaves like a source in a 3D model, but it is not actually a source. Then you can replace a source by a queue object and let a process flow logic unit do all necessary steps of creating items in a model. Lastly you move such items into your queue to let them be distributed by this queue.

Here's a code snippet you can put on a pallet source's creation trigger:

string fiName="Box";
int numItems=4;
Object flowitem=Model.find("Tools/FlowItemBin/"+fiName).first;
Object packedItem;
for (int n=numItems;n>0;n--) {
    packedItem=flowitem.copy(model());
    moveobject(packedItem,item);
}
