Conveyor Initial quantity

Hi All,

I trying to model a cavity conveyor where the operator will be placing items. I am planning to use totes as cavities. How do I show cavities at time zero or on reset? For example 16 totes for the entire length of the conveyor.
The below method of for some reason didnt work. I used scheduled source and for some reason, the number of items are always less than 1. For example, Source supposed to create 7 and it has created 6 only. Any guidance is appreciated.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.0.2

@Sri J,

Any chance you could attach your model or a sample model of the problem. Just looking at the graphic doesn't show what is happening in the model. That would help us give you a better and more specific answer to your question.

Thanks.

You don’t need at the run time 0 everything complete built in your model. If you run a model, you can set a warmup time. After that time the statistics are reset. During the warmup time you can fill storages, conveyors, machines, and so on.

@Jörg Vogel, Thanks, this is for visual effect rather than object filing or statistics collection. Is there a way to do it?

I did looked at your code posted on Nov28'2016, but unable to implement so.

or(int numpallets = 1; numpallets <= 4;numpallets++)
{createcopy(node("MODEL:/Tools/FlowItemBin/Pallet_train_avant/Pallet_train_avant"),model(),1);
	setitemtype(last(model()),1);
for(int index = 2; index >= 0; index--)
{createcopy(node("MODEL:/Tools/FlowItemBin/Train_avant/Train_avant"),last(model),1);
nodefunction(node("MAIN:/project/exec/globals/nodefunctions/palletentry"),last(model()),last(last(model())));
setitemtype(last(last(model())),1);
}
moveobject(last(model),node("MODEL:/EntryTransfer54"),1);}
