I have made conveyor model & want to create batch of 3 flow items on convyor no 2 and transfer this flow items as a group to the conveyor no.4. To understand the process which i want to simulate, i have attach the video of same process. Also here i attach my model.
Thanks.

To create batches of three items you can combine a restricted area with a maximum content of 3 on the conveyor (Trigger -> Enter Area) with the slug building functionality to hold items until the item count reaches 3. (Conveyor Type -> Behaviour -> Slug Builder)
As items can't run in parallel on a conveyor I see two ways to have the items move like in your video:
A: Use three conveyors positioned next to each other with the correct distance and send the items to them in round robin format. (To have it look better, you could set the skirt size to 0)
B: Use a decision point to move the outer two items into the middle one with custom code, so they move over the conveyor together. You will have to split them up again at the exit.
Both approaches are demonstrated in the attached file.
@Felix Mohlmann Thanks for your help. This is exactly what i am looking for. I will use this concept in model building.
