PCIs stuck in location/not entering model

Hello everyone,

I've had a lot of progress on this thanks to the feedback I've received from the community, but now I have two problems with my model.

One is that kids seem to not be entering the system (PCIs 87-114) for some reason. If I simply remove the rest of the PCIs, the model does indeed simulate children arriving.

The second problem is that patients are stuck in the optometry chair for the whole simulation. I have checked to see if my predecessors or next activity have problems, but everything seems to be fine.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

1. The problem is the PCI Percents table. If you add up all the values in the first column the total should be 100. When I added up all the values it equals 200.09. This means that any rows after the point where the total equals 100 are ignored.

2. You're trying to send patients from an Optometry chair to a field desk, but there's no connection from the optometry area to the field desk area. Make an arrow from the optometry area to the field desk area. (Also you don't need a separate area for each individual object, all the optometry chairs can be in a single optometry area).
