A connection between mass flow conveyors

Hi everyone!

I have started using mass flow conveyors in FlexSim 22.0.1 and I am struggling with the following problem. The steps to reproduce it are the following:

1) Drag two mass flow conveyors in the 3D model;

2) Join them with a connection "A";

Results: the exit transfer of the upstream conveyor is a correct, the entry transfer of the downstream is not a mass flow entry transfer but just a standard one.

Is it a bug or an issue?

This is indeed a bug. You can get around it by first connecting the second to a different fixed resource and then draw a connection between the conveyors. Afterwards you can delete the resource you used to create the correct transfer.

Thank you Felix for your answer! Indeed I was using the same workaround that you suggested.

@ Felix, can you add it to dev list? Otherwise it will never fix in the future release.

Not directly, since I only work for the German FlexSim distributor. All I can do is tag someone to take a look at this.

@anthony.johnson is this a known issue?

I will add this case, though you can always just email [email protected] with a link to this question, and it will be automatically added to our issue tracker. That is how I usually do it anyway.
