Yimy,

I guess I'm not understanding exactly what it is you are trying to do. Could you explain a little more and tell me what objects in the model should do what and when? I'm not sure how the global table comes into play.

Hello, in conclusion I need to get the rack by itemtype in a specific time, for example 1 pallet rack out of itemtype 1 to 50 minutes to run the model. Thank you.

A rack is similar to a queue. A rack receives an item and releases the item instantly. The reason is the standard Dwell Time is set to 0. If there is set a different Dwell Time the rack releases the item at the end of this time. If you need an item being released at a defined simulation runtime, you have to compute the Dwell Time in such a way that the item stays only the time left to the releasing time. But there are two dependencies that prevent that the item enters the next object. First the next object must be able to receive this item at the right time stamp. Second if you use a taskexecuter for the transport you delay the time of entering of the item in the next object.
