How to make the operator return after unloading on 2 ressources ?

I would like to be able to bring the operator back to its original starting position after finishing the tasks assigned to it without waiting to be called by processor 1, knowing that the operator travels from Processor 1 to Processor 2 then Queue 1 then back to Processor 1 Operator return.fsm

Thank you in advance.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.0.0

Please look into the unload trigger. There is an option to let the Taskexecuter travel to an object.

Yes, I have already tried this option, unfortunately, in my case I want the operator to unload the same item from processor 1 to processor 2 then processor 3 before returning to processor 1.

There is a condition. You set a condition. You need something that you can compare with. You open the source code editor. You see in the header predefined variables. Here first three code lines. The header ends before a comment line something with containing "Picklist". In most cases you don't know what they do. Then you use a simple print command to print them to an output console.

print(Model.time, "On Unload of Operator");
print(current);
print(item);
print(station);

You open the output console under main menu Debug.You let run the model and watch the output console. You see the predefined variable correlates with the current output station. You compare variables in a condition.

Model.find("Source1") == station

Now you have your condition for your On UnLoad Trigger.
