Reset combiner parameters after release item using code

Hi team,

Im doing a model where i need to release the cart inside a combiner due I reach the WO size and Im using the next code:

"releaseitem(token.CartItem,1);" / Used in fixed resource "ReleaseBatchbyWO"

but once i release the cart the combiner "SMT01Cart_FG" still get items from port 2 even if I dont have material from port 1.

Could you please let me know how i can "reset" the combiner in order to start to work based in the original conditions? I mean wait for material for port 1 and start to get material normally?

see attached the model for your reference. you will notice that after release the cart the combiner accept material from port 2 even without have the cart.

ModeloFlex1.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.3

flexsim 20.1.3 combiner batch force release

modeloflex1.fsm (7.5 MiB)

A combiner is NOT able to release unfinished combined items. There are events already created for the future, you can not stop by releasing the container item. But this statement belongs to most fixed resources. If you need features of A combiner and have still full control then you can create a logic in a queue or use a processor controlled completely by process flow.
