I want to do a project based on the tutorial of process flow 1.2

I Want to have more station ,each have their own resources(Cars) , but I don't know how to change the amount of resource , it's it possible ? Or I have to use One resource with different label instead?

And how should I set the flow item to different destination(following some distrubution).

In the queue, I have change the output like

Can you upload the model you currently have so we can have a better understanding of the process you are looking for?

@HUNGＫＵＡＮ W

You can set the destination by distribution by filling in the "Send To Port" with a distribution, as shown in the picture below

Would you like each station to have their own car that is continually transporting for only that station?

You can definitely do your model connectionless if you want, but it is not working because you have to designate which car you want to use next to the "Use Transport" button in your picture.

If you want to send items to a list, you have to enter that in the "Send To Port", and select push to list as shown in the picture below. Hopefully this can help you get a little further.

Thanks for answering !

I want every station has there own car . but once the car go to the other station , it will stay there and wait the demand on there.

And I'm not quite understand how to designate the car , and what's the difference between the two "push to itemlist" and how can i set the destination if I have push the item to the itemlist?

By the way, in the model, all cars will only service station 1, and I'm confused why .

Thanks again for your help !

When you push something to a list, something else must pull from it. For each station, make an "A" connection from each of your stations to a car. The entry box next to "Use Transport" is referencing the transport. Replace what is there with

current.centerObjects[1]
