querying storage system with storage locations as resources

Hi. I am using floor storage locations as a resource, to take advantage of the quantity of resources as a variable.

When I try to use "find slot" to store product, the query does not consider the resource (storage location in this case named RUMBA) children. How can I deal with this?

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.0.0

The copies that are created by setting the resource quantity are not automatically added to the storage system (this might be a bug).

Either create all floorstorages manually (copy/paste or using the template feature), add them to a group and reference that group in the process flow resource.

Or add the copies to the storage system after they are created by running the following code for each one:

Object FloorStorage = Model.find("FloorStorage");    // Adjust to actual name
treenode FS_var_link = FloorStorage.find(">variables/system").subnodes.add();
treenode Storage_link = Model.find("Tools/StorageSystem>variables/storageObjects").subnodes.add();
FS_var_link.dataType = DATATYPE_COUPLING;
Storage_link.dataType = DATATYPE_COUPLING;
nodejoin(FS_var_link, Storage_link);
