Unload multiple flow items into a rack at once

I have a transporter loading 50 flow items from a queue and unloading them in a rack. How can I unload all 50 items with a single movement anywhere in the rack?

I'm using Process Flow to control the transporter, so it would be great if this worked in Process Flow too.

FlexSim 16.0.1

Assuming you used a List to get the references to the items your Transported loaded, rather than using an Unload activity you could try a Move Object activity instead. Give the 'pulled' label as the thing you want to move and that will take all the things in the Transporter and place them in the rack, bypassing any load times.

My quick guess would be to set the transporter so that is does not travel offsets, see TaskExecuter Page.

If you could send us the model that you've done so that we could see it, that would be helpful in answering your question.
