How to connect a processor to a conveyor?

I'm a complete newbie to anything related to Flexsim, I'm trying to make a simple model and I want to connect a proccesor object to a conveyor and then the conveyor to a queue, I've already tried making the connection using an "a" connection, but the objects from the processor do not move to the conveyor. Is there any way to do this?

I appreciate any help.

Hi @Daniel Mn7,

Without seeing how you set up your model it is hard to know exactly what is preventing your flow items from entering the conveyor. If you share your model with us we can take a look at it.

It may be caused by having use transport selected without connecting a transporter.

The model works normal for me in the current settings.

It seems you previously had the 'Use Transport' option enabled on the 4th and 5th processor but have a wrong reference in the transporter field (possibly because the processors are copied of the previous three)

The option tries to get a reference to the task executer who should do the transportation through the second centerport-connection of the processor. But processor 4 and 5 only have one such connection, which causes the error message you are seeing in the console window at the bottom and stops the item flow.

The same problem is exists with the transport from queue1 to the sink.
