Using a Dispatcher for Travel between Network Nodes using PF

Hey brains trust,

I'm trying to model a transport TE starting its journey between 2 NN when an object hits Queue 1 in another part of the model.

dispatcher_pf_NN_Q.fsm

For some reason, if I use the dispatcher to send the TE on its way, it won't follow the curved path (I've tried using the same structure with the TE directly connected and it works that way).

Why do I need a dispatcher? I'd like to make the number of TEs connected to that NN a parameter in the parameter table, and as far as I know, this is the only way to do it.

Thanks in advance!

@Theresa B

You should change to set the Navigator to 'DefaultNetworkNavigator' not 'defaultNavigator'.

@Theresa B. Yes. You feel too many setting to make the user hunting as you said.

When you use 3D library networkNode to make the model, the setting automatically changed to 'NetWorkNode Navigator' from 'default navigator'. But you used processflow control. So it looks like not changed automatically.
