Creation of multiple entities

I want to create multiple entities -32 entities to be exact- in a manufacturing simulation.

each entity has to pass by certain machines and has it's own properties.

any ideas on how to do that on flexsim?

Hi @Muhammad A4,

It sounds like you pretty much described the purpose of FlexSim in this question. Here is an example:

This is just an abstract version, but you can connect it to 3d objects, program your logic, and do pretty much whatever you would like with your process.

I would recommend starting with the tutorials:

Thank you for your answer. @Benjamin W2


Will this method allow each item to have it's own properties?

and allow me to to have certain process flows for each item?

Example: items 2,3 and 4 will pass by a laser cutting machine then a drilling machine

but item 6 will only need the drilling machine

@Muhammad A4, yes, that is all possible. Have you taken a look at the tutorials? Each token can hold information. Each flowitem can also hold information. You can make decisions based on this information.
