Item gets stuck on short conveyor piece

Hi guys,

this seems to be too easy to be a bug, so maybe I just have a blackout erasing all my FlexSim knowledge. Have searched Answers, but not successful:

Why does the pallet get stuck after passing through the short conveyor section following the side transfer?

I remember items longer than conveyor sections were causing troubles in the past, but I assume with this simple of a configuration there should not be any hiccup.

Thanks

Ralf

As far as I can tell, It's not you (or me) - there's something going on with the automatically generated side and inline transfers at the short conveyor - if you replace either one with an exit /entry transfer pair then it works.

Thanks Jason, the workaround will do, although it comes with the little discomfort to have to manage rotations when passing the item through Ext-/Entry-Transfer vs. Inline-/Side-Transfer.
