Errors with PF and network nodes

Hi there,

During my current model development i have encountered an interesting problem with PF and network nodes. I was trying to create taskexecutorflowitems using PF, then moving them into a queue which is attached to a network which i want them to travel on.

I noticed that if i use the "Create Object" logic block and select "Create In" the model throws errors.

I tried a few other options (see attached model) to achieve the same result and i only got errors when selecting the "Create Object" option.

Is there a reason why this is happening?

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.1.4

Jason,

You should select the actual network node as the destination when you create the TEflowitem, not the queue. That is a shortcut to getting them connected to the network.
