Replication of machines and loadports from parameters

Hi everyone, so basically my current model has the following where each plane is a machine with their respective component and the parameter below is linked with a machine, so if i increase the parameter, i can increase the number of machines

What i would like to do is basically add 2 more parameters where I can vary the number of loadport in each machine and number of tester in each machine.

I tried creating them but, when i increase the number of machine, the connections are broken for the copied machines. is it possible to do this while keeping all the port connections accordingly. Thanks in advanced! :)

flexsim-loadports-jl (1).fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.0.7

For the Test processors you may be able to just change the maxcontent of the instance.

If you're varying the number of loadports per machine you might want to connect them directly to the queue or use a list to mediate the push/pull mechanism.

If you want to use templates then use 23.0 or higher.
