loading barges using the basic berth

Carregamento_Top.fsm

I'm making a model where the berth has capacity for 2 barges. However, when the barges have the same schedule, there is an error in the logic and the barges get stuck in the berth. Could anyone help me with this problem?

Hi @Kelvin Barbosa ,

This looks to be a rare bug. In this case we are connecting a tank to a loading arm, at the exact same time as when we disconnected the loading arm from another tank. Since this new tank is created in a FlowItem this new tank is not connected to the FlowControl object. This is automatically done when the tank is connected to the loading arm. However, the event on which the tank is full is not created.

Short summary: this is a bug that we will fix. For now you can add a breathe (delay activity with time 0) after the "Wait for Full activity". This will fix the issue.
