Problems with the "By Percentage" parameter on processor

So... I have a processor (with a "by percentage" parameter) that should send 1/3 of the items to one Queue and 2/3 of the items to another Queue. At first, that happens, but when I run the model again, all items go to the same Queue. Can anyone help me?

See attached file.

Please, see the model attached. I just consider your percentages and increase the arrival rate. Also, considering the Arrival Style that you choosed "Arrival Schedule" I only added more number of arrivals to evaluate. Please, open the source's proprierties and see the changes made. It seems that the flow percentage is doing right now.

It's working. Thanks. But, for example, in the first processor... the Output Port 1 is the Queue 7, and nº2 is Queue11. When the percentage system is: 1/3 to Port 1 and 2/3 to Port 2, the models runs the way it should, but these percentages are inverted. It doesn't make sense to me

Lucas, veja a imagem. Ao executar o modelo por um tempo maior, você pode ver a quantidade de items que saíram do Processor 6 (54), sendo que aproximadamente 30% foram enviados para o Queue 7 (conectado a porta 1 do processor6), e o restante, aproximadamente 70% foram enviados ao Queue 11, conectado a porta 2 do Processor 6. A opção By Percentage nas picklists está dentro de Random (aleatório) de acordo com o percentual estipulado. Se olhar no código que está por trás desta picklist, verá que o percentual está oscilando de acordo com uma distribuição uniform, oscilando entre 0 e 100, respeitando as regras de envio de acordo com as portas. Veja abaixo, que por trás da picklist existe o comando declarando a semente geradora de números aleatórios e também a distribuição uniform. Apesar de existirem as picklists para facilitar a modelagem na aplicação da parte lógica, é interessante clicar no símbolo que lembra um pergaminho, que você verifica o que está escrito ou o que significam as picklists. Qualquer dúvida, estamos a disposição.

Só para complementar a resposta acima. "De acordo com os % estipulados para envio das respectivas portas".
