Scheduling source

Hallo flexsim community

I want to ask how to organize sources in order to produce goods at a certain time.

For example: every hour the source immediately create 100 items (I use this as a buffer), and when it's break time the source stops create items. The arrival is done in 1 time not in inter-arrivals time. And I will repeat this scheduling within 1 week.

The scheduling that I want:

08.00 arrive 100 items

09.00 arrive 100 items

10.00 arrive 100 items

11.00 arrive 100 items

12.00 arrive 0 items

13.00 arrive 100 items

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.0

This is a job for process flow, because a 3D source is not capable to do this kind of request by standard settings. It is possible to tweak a 3D source to accomplish your request, but then it is easier to realize it in process flow by a datetime source activity, other activities and a 3D Queue object.
