You use the command "createinstance". Please look into the manual: Reference > Coding in FlexSim > Command Reference.

The example creates there a source from the library in the model. After each creation of a source you set the location of the last object in the model. Then you create the next source.

Here's a simplified example of a model that automatically creates sources on model open using a trigger and the custom code explained by @Jörg Vogel.

Look in the "OnModelOpen" trigger for the code.
