FlexSim can’t do this. You can try to build experiments which test your model with variations of different waiting times in queues and storage areas. Each variation may change possible different routings of your lots.
Another approach is testing different inputs of your lots in your model to keep them stay in your time limit.

You can combine those experiments and use the optimizer to keep only results meeting your conditions.
But telling FlexSim just to keep a time limit and not setting up variations of input sequence and routing conditions is not possible.
