It looks like you entered a statistical distribution in the "Split/Unpack Quantity" field of your separator.
Changing it to "Entire Contents" works for me.
Why did you use a statistical Distribution there? The exponential Distribution doesn´t return integers, what means the seperator should create a decimal number of boxes?
Shawn,
technically you can use a statistical distribution that does not return integers. In that case only the integer part will be taken to determine the number of items to be unpacked. However, in your model the exponential distribution returns 0.997226 at time 279.574496, which means, the separator needs to unpack zero items...which it does, forcing it to stop.
On another note, the 3D shape you use for your loaded pallet seems to be pretty heavy. The navigation becomes very unresponsive after some simulation time, especially when you load up Queue1 and Rack 1 with that. You should use a lighter 3D shape in terms of size/complexity.
Good luck
Ralf
