How to produce fixed quantity and processtime in stastical disbution ?

I want to set the production time as an exponential distribution, stop production after producing 100 Flowitems. However, this requires using both the InterArrival Source and Schedule Source. How can I simultaneously meet the condition of using an exponential distribution for production time andquestion.fsm stopping production after 100 items have been produced?

Hey @Willie Chung, you can set an "On Creation" trigger on the source to close it's output when it reaches a certain amount.
