How can I use the source with the parameters?

Hello,

I want to do the next: At time 0, I want my source to create a batch with the quantity specified in the 'Batchsize' parameter created in the parameters section, so that I can use the experimenter with different batch sizes. I want my items to all exit at once at time 0.

Example.fsm

Thank you.

Set the source to use an arrival schedule and bind the parameter to the respective table node that contains the quantity data.

Or use a "Create Objects" activity in Process Flow and use the parameter (Model.parameters.Batchsize) in its quantity field.

I am trying to do it using "Create Objects" in the Process Flow but it doesn't create any object.

You need to invoke the process - the easiest way is to create a scheduled source in your process flow (to create tokens that pass through activities). Please do the tutorials.
