Processor is in the blocked state even though it is pushing items to a list

I am working on a simulation and when I run it some of my processors become blocked and I can't figure out why. When items are done processing they are pushed to a list and then a queue pulls them from that list. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyler Morrison

Hi @Tyler Morrison

Would you be able to upload your model for us? Thank you

@Isaac Litster Unfortunately, I can't upload a model due to confidentiality reasons. I'm just not sure how a processor could be in a blocked state when it is pushing to the list because the list should always be available to receive flow items, shouldn't it?

@Tyler Morrison

Is your queue pulling from that list at all times? When an item is done at a processor, even though it is pushed to a list, the item still needs a place to be,so it will stay at the processor, blocking it, still the item is pulled and placed somewhere else.

That was the issue. Some of my queues were at their max content. I didn't realize before that items needed to be somewhere while on the list. Thanks for your help.
