Hi @Rambabu,

When looking at your model I was also running into some issues with the wait for event. I then created a work around using an event triggered source and a push and pull from list. The event triggered source creates a token when FluidMixer1 starts releasing which then allows the token waiting for the mixer to fill to exit the zone and let a new token enter the zone. I am including the updated model that I am describing.

If the issue is with the tokens that are being pushed to the list, you can add a max wait time to the push to list activity. This means that if there are no tokens in the zone, that the token will then be sent to the sink. You will also need to attach the sink to the activity block.

This will keep the model from creating a pile up of tokens.
