Fluid creation and transfer

Hi, I want to convert an item to fluid and transfer it to a processor using a forklift, and then after processing convert that fluid back to the item. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi @Santhosh C,

I created a sample model that I believe demonstrates what you are asking for. I attached a fluid tank to a Transporter TaskExecuter to serve as the means to transport the fluid. The tank connects an ItemToFluid object with a FluidProcessor object. The processor then connects to a FluidToItem object to finish the process.

Thank you, Ryan, this is what I expected. In the same model, I tried to send the multiple transporter with the tank to a multiple fluid processor. The fluid gets transferred but the transported does not physically go to each fluid processor where the fluid is being transferred. Could you please help me with this?Model1.fsm

Hi @Santhosh C,

I modified the Process Flow a bit to achieve your desired model behavior. I have the Process Flow assign a destination using the same logic as you used, but I then only open the output port associated with that FluidProcessor. This seems to work as it should.

Hi Ryan,

In the model, the second transporter is not moving to its destination. It should work sequentially with the first one. Could you please fix that ? That will complete my questions. Thank you for helping out.
