Hey, Flexsim Gurus!
How can I set the maximum queue capacity to unlimited?
How to set the maximum queue capacity to unlimited

@MC Bunji , please don’t do that, because you would include a source of model failure by default. You could set for example a vast high capacity of all created items of a simulation run instead.
Hey
@MC Bunji! What's your ultimate goal with setting it to be unlimited?

There are better ways to measure throughput than to keep every item in a queue.
You can let the items flow into a sink and use the sink's input/output stat to measure the throughput. You can pin it to a dashboard and if needed, you can sample that table/chart to copy the value into a performance measure.
And even if you want to use the queue and keep the items. Just use a very large value as the capacity as Jörg suggested. I'd wager your PC is going to run out of RAM long before the model reaches something close to 1 billion items.
Also, it sounds like you should not be modelling each item and its events but groups of items - boxes or totes etc. If you are conveying the individual items you should be using the Mass Flow Conveyors.
