Hi,
This model causes an endless loop regarding AStar node allocation. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance.

This is a known behavior of AStar. This is a case where FlexSim's cycle-breaking logic is insufficient. There are a few main ways to work around this issue:
- Add control areas or preferred paths or other mechanisms to avoid creating a cycle.
- Add logic to the On AStar Block trigger to handle collisions with custom logic.
- Add logic to On AStar Reroute to send the "rerouted" traveler on a different path.
Using these methods, the user can avoid the specific issues they see in their model.
