Conditional release in Process Flow

I need help setting up a conditional release. I have a process with several resources and the allocation of each one of them depends on some conditions. The allocation process is continuous, at each time delimited for checking, the resources are released and the allocation conditions are evaluated again.

How to set up a generic release, which checks if the resource has been allocated, if so, deallocates, otherwise not. I would like to do this without using decides to split the flow as I have several features and several different releases for each of them.

Below is a schematic model of this process with just 1 resource for simplicity.

FX_ConditionalRelease.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.2

process flow flexsim 21.1.2 resource

fx-conditionalrelease.fsm (35.3 KiB)

The easiest way to do this is to assign all the different resources to the same label. Then you just have to release once from that label.

Otherwise, this looks like a good approach, just return the label node (and not the label value) in the conditional popup:

token.labels["equip"]
