The Move Object activity moves an object or multiple objects to another place in a simulation model. When the object moves it will be instantaneous, meaning that it will instantly appear in its new location. It functions the same as calling the moveobject()
command.
Max Content
Moving an object using this activity does not take into account Max Content on a task executer or fixed resource object. It will force the object(s) into the destination object regardless of that object's availability.
Connectors
The Move Object activity only allows one connector out. See Adding and Connecting Activities for more information.
