restaurant model with two entrances (front and back

[ FlexSim 22.2.0 ]

simulacao-restaurante-2-fm.fsmI'm building a model of a restaurant with two entrances (front and back). I managed to build the model through Flow Item, and I will leave it attached below, but I was only able to add the front entrance to the model. I would like to know if I can put the back entrance (source 2), because I need people entering the restaurant from both sides. I have the data, but I can't make the model I idealized using Flow Item work, as in the first one (source 1).

Hi, Raynan! That's some ways to do this. So, for two entrances you could set a decide before de create person and reference a each source in each create person. But, it appears a visual bug, when i did this. So i change the 3D sources for 3D Entrances and reference them.

You can customize the decision criteria, if you need. I set random port 50/50.

Just so I can understand, you duplicate Create Person, but the way the system is creating the entities is still governed only by global table 1, right? If I want Entrace 2 to be governed by a Global Table 2, independent of the first, is it possible?

Thank you for your attention.

Yes, i didnt change the method you're using to create people. You can create another schedule source (ProcessFlow) and link with a Global table 2, and use a independent subFlow to create people at Entrance2.

A restaurant model with two entrances is an interesting way to simulate how customers move through different access points. Real restaurant layouts can also make a big difference to customer flow and overall experience. For anyone interested in restaurant concepts in Malta, Naan Bar in Valletta is an interesting example to look at, especially with its central location and restaurant layout.
