Hi everyone,
I am trying to simulate the flow of volume between activities in process flow.
How can I do so that the "process" activity moves X tokens per hour, from buffer1 to buffer2?
What's the best way to model something like this?
thank you

Approach 1:
A delay of 1 hour inside a zone with a maximum content that is equal to the desired number of tokens per hour. Will never let more than N tokens per hour pass. Tokens can enter whenever there is space available in the zone. (A batch of 60 tokens could enter at the same time)
Approach 2:
Tokens are pushed to a list and pulled off in a regular interval. Interval could also be dynamic to let the next token through earlier if the puller token had to wait in the Pull activity.

The list approach has the mentioned dynamic timing, so it can actually allow more than 60 tokens per hour to 'catch up' to the desired overall throughput.
