My Process Flow module does not allow to insert new elements.

I am building the tutorial regarding the new people library of flexsim 2018 using the Express version. In the development of this model I came across the following problem: when using the people library the process flow module does not allow to insert new elements, informing that the limit of the model has been reached. I note that the message appears even when no element was added in the process flow. Is this locking expected?

It does seem to happen with the chairs in the waiting room. I will inform our developer who built the training modules. IN the meantime, I would complete the Tutorial but just reduce the waiting area size in your model.

Hello Sam,

It seems to me that the problem is not with the amount of chairs. I performed another test by creating a new model and inserted an object into the flow process, then, in sequence, I inserted an object from the people library. After inserting a person object, the process flow module is blocked stating that the object limit has been reached.

Hi Jean, how many objects do you have in your model? Express version has some features limitation but prior provide you a more accurate answer, just let me know.

Hello Michael, in the model has only 7 objects from the people library. I performed another test by creating a new model and inserted an object into the flow process, then, in sequence, I inserted an object from the people library. After inserting a person object, the process flow module is blocked stating that the object limit has been reached.

Oops, it looks like an oversight by FlexSim developers! Immediately after adding any People module object to a model, a significant number of process flows are added to the model behind the scenes to support all the cool new People module functionality. We'll need to come up with a solution for this, or Express users won't be able to explore the People module!
