Hello @MPeyman,

If you don't want to use GIS, you can simply translate the nodes to XY coordinates and use a code to create them from the table. Create_NN_v23.fsm

To connect them, you can simply use the code contextdragconnection.

I hope I have been helpful.

Dear @José Antonio MD , Thanks for your answer, is there anyway that in the script I connect all of the node except the first node to the queue, So each node has their own queue? and also connect the resource to all queues?

Hello @MPeyman,

You just need to say what you want to connect and with what. You can use it inside the loop, outside or wherever you need it... create-nn-v23_AConnection.fsm

In the manual you can see the code ant it uses "A" or "S" connections: https://docs.flexsim.com/en/24.0/Reference/CodingInFlexSim/CommandReference/Commands.html#contextdragconnection
