MassFlowConveyor does not draw correctly with fastforward

Hi,

In the attached you can see a simple mass flow conveyor model which shows a different outcome when you run the model with fast forward or just a normal run. If you run the model with fast forward you will see the following result:

With normal run you can see:

This looks to be a small bug. The PE is covered in both cases. Is there something we can do about this for now, as a shortcut or something?

Thanks,

Patrick

Changing the model units to inches/feet may help you. The bottle dia in your case is 0.05 m which may be causing this.

Thanks for pointing this out - it looks like something is dependant on the draw events being called, since increasing the run speed results in the same issue when the slider is, for me, at its halfway point. I'll send it into the developers.
