Extension Tutorial for lab work

Unfortunately, I could not find in the User Manual (FlexSim HC) the description of Combining, Separating, Conveying.
The task is to measure the time of investigation of each individual sample, which is processed in the laboratory as part of the package. In the laboratory, the following algorithm is often used:
1. Samples are accumulated in the queue
2. When the number of samples becomes equal to, for example, 12, they are sent as a packet to the study
3. After completion of the study, the package is separated into individual samples
4. For each individual sample, the time from arrival to the laboratory until the end of the study is measured.
Can you add a simulation of this lab work to the Tutorial?

Yes, we need to add some more tutorials that use the Item class objects!

I don't think you'll need to use the Combiner and Separator for the batching you described. The Queuing object has a batching feature that works well for this scenario. I've attached a small example that shows how to use it.

Thank you! The answer became clear to me after I learned the documentation for FlexSim (Classic) in addition to FlexSim HealthCare.
