2 Processes at same time

Hello, im using a multiprocessor with 3 processes that are sequential. However, i need the first 2 processes to start at the same time as they use 2 different types of worker.

So one process is independent of the other process, but the flowitem can't leave until both processes are completed. I'd like to just use one multiprocessor if possible.

My entire model is coded in, so if you know some code to accomplish this, would be great.

Thanks in advance!! Flexsim VERSION 6

The multiprocessor functions on the basis of having a sequence of various processes. If you want two different processes to begin at the same time, you could look at the example in the attached model. The flowitem enters a separator which splits the item to two different processors. The processors each have different process times and operators, but begin at the same time. They then go to the combiner to be joined back together, representing the third process of your system. Hope this helps.
