How cuold i make a source feed 3 queus at same time in once?

Good morning !

I need to start my simulation with all my queus full, the problem it's that i don't know how to tune the source to fill all queus once at the moment 0. I have connected it with all my queus(That i want to be filled) but the source just fill the first connection.

In case that someone has examples, my flexsim's version is 17.0.2

Thanks for your help !

You don't need to use a Source at all to initially create flowitems in a Queue to start a model.

As you can see by the status of Source1, it has not yet output any flowitems. The code is in the OnReset, OnMessage and OnEntry triggers of each queue. And you don't have to have the code in the OnEntry trigger. I just added that to set the itemtype and color for items in each queue.

Take a look at the code (all standard pick lists) and see if this is what you were looking for. This way, you don't have to change anything on the Source and you can just have it produce flowitems as normal.

If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.

Thanks.
