people are blocked when acquiring location in PF (flexsimHC)

model.fsm

Hi everyone, I'm working with this model and a problem occurs when it comes to about 11000 second. After person 29 finishes at triage table, he doesn't acquire ER successfully. Then person 35 comes in and both Triage tables are blocked there since then.

I found that I didn't add release location in all the following branches, sorry for being careless.

however, the token still occupied ER after the process

Hello @Zhengli Y

You were missing a release ER activity in the following part of your process flow.

I highly recommend walking through each branch of your process flow and making sure that staff and locations are acquired and release as expected.

You also are having exceptions being thrown because you are trying to release locations from resources that tokens did not pass through. I suggest you use one of the picklist options such as release all considering you are at the end of the patient flow and are trying to release all acquired resources.
