stop the model when items go through the simulation

In my model,I made a multi-layer shuttle car ware model

I want stop the model when items go through the simulation.Now ,When the items are all on the rack, the model does not stop and the process seems to be still working.

I know that I can use the code to stop my model:

stop();

But I don't know when and where to trigger it.

It's my model,thanks for your help!stock-in.fsm

@Wang Z2,you know when the rack is full. Then you send a delayed message. The receiving object stops the model.

Thanks,But

It’s not that the model is stopped after the rack is full. I want to stop the model when the warehousing task is completed(items all entry the rack).

If you are using an operator or AGV, you could maybe use the trigger called, "On Finish Task."

Otherwise, it appears that you're pulling tasks, so whenever you push the completed task back to the list, you could use the stop() command then.

Or, like @Jörg Vogel explained, if you know how many items need to enter the rack, you can set a trigger that listens to the content of the rack. For example, when the rack reaches 150 items, the trigger will fire and stop the model.

The number of my items is uncertain，so, I can't set a trigger that listens to the content of the rack.

I tried the trigger "On Finish Task",but it didn't work,The AGV triggers the trigger command before the task is completed.

And can you describe the second solution? I don't understand very well.I have two AGV ,each of them use the same processing flow ,so I don't know how to set it.

After reviewing your question, I realized that what you're looking for happens automatically. When all the items have moved through the model, the model stops on its own. In your model, this happens at time 118.27.

Is there something different you'd like to happen?
