Event Trigger source not creating token.

Hi Community,

I am currently working on a model in FlexSim 23.1.3 where I have set up an event trigger source to create a token at Control Point 1 upon arrival and on entry. However, I’ve noticed that the token is not being created as expected. I’ve double-checked the event trigger settings, but the issue persists.

Is this behavior potentially a bug, or am I missing something in the configuration? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve attached my model for reference.

Thank you in advance!

Objects do not "enter" a control point if they are not specifically unloaded to it or moved into it.

The OnArrival event triggers when a TE comes to a stop at a control point. Either because it's the final destination or because it can't continue because the next control point/area could not be allocated.

In your model, neither event has a cause to fire. If you want to react to a TE reaching a control point use the OnPreArrival event. It triggers when the TE reaches the point along the path where it either needs to allocate the next control point or start decelerating to come to a stop at the current CP.
