Massflow conveyor exception

Hi,

When I have a model with a masslfowconveyor where the generation rate is set to 0 it gives an exception at a certain time. It looks like the massflow conveyor is still scheduling event as if there would have been some rate going in the conveyor. I think there is a bug somewhere here, or at least that the error msg could be clearer. Attached is the model.

TestRate_2.fsm

Thanks,

Patrick

Hey @Patrick Zweekhorst, this seems to be a bug. A workaround I found was to first have your Scheduled Source send a token shortly after 0.

Have whatever items that spawn from the conveyor run through to the sink. Then, change the Time back to 0 and run the model again. It works with no errors.

I'll report this to dev, thank you for pointing it out to us.

Hi @Kavika F , can you confirm that this is still on the dev list and has not been fixed for now? A customer just reported the same issue to us in FlexSim 24.2

Hey @Patrick Zweekhorst, I can confirm this is on the dev list and hasn't been fixed yet. I'll relay this to the dev team.
