How to set output of a queue by round robin but in batches

Hi FlexSim team,

How can I set output of a queue by round robin but in batches of 10 pieces, but without distributing them piece by piece to each queue?

I mean, when the pieces are sent to the queue are divided between all the queues conected. I want to send one complete batch of 10 pieces to one QueueA, and then the other batch of then send to the other queueB...

Round Robbin by batches.fsm

Thank you,

Luis

You could use a combiner to do the batch and then three separators in each queue.

There are other more direct ways to do this without the extra objects, but this is the fastest I can think of

The attached model shows how one might do this in the Send to Port code. The princible stays the same from the default Round Robin. The difference is that the counter label/variable is not used as the output port number directly but modified by the batch size.
