EntryTransfer in ProcessFlow

OrderRelease_v4.fsm

Dear,

I have been trying for two days to figure out what I am doing wrong in my process flow. The goal is to eventually have 4 racks, each with its own conveyor. I currently have 2 in my model that are working correctly. However, when I add the third and fourth rack along with their conveyors, no EntryTransfer appears in my model. If I connect them to each other, I see it appear, but with the existing 2 racks, I didn’t connect them either, and they still appeared.

The image below shows how I want the four racks to eventually look, each with its own conveyor, and the packages falling onto the conveyor.

Ultimately, I want to connect the conveyors to a central conveyor in the middle (red line).

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.7

@Eslem Hi Esma ;-) To create a entrytransfer you have to make a connection from an object to the conveyor. It doen't matter which object so it can be queue for instance. You can then throw the queue away or rightclick on the transfer and select "Remove connections" you achieve the same. When you then select the entrytransfer (just click on it) you will see 2 small red triangles on the left and right side of the transfer and you can make the transfer larger in either direction.
If you put the central conveyor in you can just make the other 4 conveyors longer until they touch the conveyor and they will automatically be connected.

You could watch this youtube video: FlexSim Conveyors to get more info on working with conveyors
