Hi @Abdelillah AY

Here is a simple example model using a combiner and a separator. Is this similar to what you are thinking?

combiner-and-separator.fsm

Using your model I just added the pickoption "Set Color By Case" in the Separator's OnExit trigger:

The value used for the color code is based on the statistic (stats) of how many product left (output) the Separator (current):

current.stats.output.value

This expression will return 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7... So to get a sequence which is repeated every 3 products for the color code, you can use the integer modular:

current.stats.output.value%3

This will return 0-1-2-0-1-2-0-1-2...

I just added +1 to shift the sequence used for the color code to 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3...

With the default color code in FlexSim 1=red, 2= green, 3=blue:

But if you prefer to use your own colors you can add cases to this pickoption.

Here is the model: 2018-11-21-separator-3-copies-with-different-color.fsm
