Processor max content greater than 1 with operator

How do I retain processor max content greater than 1 and still require an operator?

FlexSim 17.1.1

When you try to set this up, FlexSim should give this warning message:

--------------------------- Processor Error --------------------------- Processor1 has a max content greater than 1 and also is configured to use operators. This will not work properly. You will need to create several Processor objects and give each a max content of 1 to simulate this situation. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

The second part of the message explains how to simulate or model this kind of set up instead:

"You will need to create several Processor objects and give each a max content of 1 to simulate this situation."

Alternatively, you could set up a Process Flow to handle how Operators are acquired, and duration etc. to customize this kind of set up.

I am interested in knowing how to set up a Process Flow to handle an operator in a processor while it is processing more than one item. Can you share an example?. Thank you

You could just increase the max content in the processor. This will make it accept more items.

When I increase the max content in the processor, it is not possible to use an operator for process or for set up. But I need to process more than one item in just one processor using an operator for process and for setup. Is it possible to do that with process flow?
