Hello ,
I am designing a model for boarding plane and I have few problems :
1/ the passengers don't wait for each other in the aisle , they escape the plane then repeat the course .
2/ we want them to unload their luggage's in the aisle but they do it in the seat
3/ the results are too fast , we want them to be around 25-30 minutes .
I attached the model
please help me :((((((

Hi, there exists a policy of academic integrity at this forum site. The model is build in Version 20.2.
Hi @Shahad S, was Felix Möhlmann's answer helpful? If so, please click the "Accept" button at the bottom of their answer. Or if you still have questions, add a comment and we'll continue the conversation.

Here are some ideas that might help you get your model to work as intended:
1) Use a larger grid spacing. In order to prevent people from being able to "overtake" each other in the aisle, there should only be a single line of grid nodes available. Since the chairs a equidistant from each other, a simple fraction of that distance might work well. (Half the distance in the screenshot below).
2) Instead of telling the people to unload their luggage via an "Unload" activity, send them to "waypoints" first, then use the "Move Object" activity to move the luggage into the storage. This gives you more control over the position the passengers are in when storing luggage. The waypoints can be connected to the respective row of chairs with center connection for easy reference in the process flow. ("Model.find(token.location).as(Object).centerObjects[1]")
You can use the same technique to move the luggage into the correct queue.
3) If the times are not what you expect, check if all delays/speeds are set correctly. I noticed for instance that the delay before unloading is set to the default distribution (exponential with mean time 10s). Is this correct?
