Queue maxContent value used is different from maxcontent in properties

Hello!

in my model i have a queue1 with maxContent=24 (it in properties). But when the model runs there is a maxContent shown and used of 22 items. Why? I checked all known properties and my scheduled source - no idea.

Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.0.3

queue flexsim 20.0.3 maxcontent

Hello @Andreas BH, as you are using Process Flow logic to create items in the queue, the maxcontent property that you set in the 3D object parameters is not taking into account. If you want to limit the content in it you should do it via Process Flow.

Hi @Roi Sánchez; thank you for the hint. I tried it now with "Set Variable" and it seems to work.

An “assign label” activity is an alternative to read the attribute “maxcontent” of a queue and assign the value to a token or an item.
