Force release flow items from processor

Hi,

In my model, I have processor with capacity 20 and process time has a distribution. The need here is to force release randomly selected 5 flowitems (that are still in process) from the processor for every 30 mins and send them to different port.

Thanks.

Hi @Damodaran Moturu G

See the attached model for a possible solution using the releaseitem function. To choose the items to release randomly you would check if there are more than 5 items and then for example use duniform(1, amount of items left in processor) to pick the next item.

Hope this helps!
