Slug Conveyor - Position of Slug Conveyor

Hi team, I am a new guy at FlexSim

When I tried the tutorial 1.2 Slug Conveyor. I got the problem.

In my model, I have 4 slug conveyors.

The 1st slug conveyor has long and put deep into MainConveyor and MergingConveyor.

The 2nd slug conveyor right fit with the MergingConveyor, deep into MainConveyor

The 3rd slug conveyor right fit with the MainConveyor, deep into MergingConveyor

The 4th slug conveyor right fit with MainConveyor and MergingConveyor.

The result is that the function of the Slug Conveyor of the 1st and 2nd is incorrect. It always transfers the item into the MergingConveyor and it also made the 3rd and 4th stuck.

I found that the function is correct if the Slug Conveyor just fit with the MainConveyor no matter the side with MergingConveyor fit or not. So is this a bug?

Here is my model: 1.2 Merging and Slug Building Systems.fsm

Hello @Lamm,

We are sending this into the development team. Your workaround for the time being it to make sure the side transfers are on the edge of the conveyor.
