A combiner has 3 modes: pack, join and batch.
If a beginner wants to learn more about these 3 modes, he will click on the ? button to land on this page:
But there is actually no explanations about these 3 combiner modes.
Could you please improve the help documentation about the Combine Mode parameter to explain what are the differences between these 3 modes ?
One idea could be to add this paragraph from https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.2/Reference/3DObjects/FixedResources/Combiner/Combiner.html:
The combiner can operate in one of three modes: pack, join, or batch. In pack mode the combiner moves all flow items that were received through ports 2 and higher into the flow item received through input port 1 and then releases this container flow item. In join mode the combiner destroys all flow items except the one received through input port 1. In batch mode, the combiner simply releases all the flow items once the batch is collected and the setup and process times have finished.
I emailed this into the dev team.
