How to simulate continuous materials?

The materials are linked together with a "rope", so the space between 2 products fixed, but been processed on a machine one by one . The materials are neither gas nor fluid. Can I use fluid module? Or use discrete flowitems but keep a fixed space on all fixed resources?

@suphan W, Do you have a picture or drawing? Is it a conveyor?

Hi Suphan,

one possible solution would be to use an AGV to transport the products and activate the Attach loads as a trailer.

Oh, I haven't thought of this. I'll give it a shot. Thanks Marcello.

It looks like you have a cycle timed process. You adjust only the different process times at your fixed resources. The animation is a matter of dimension and spacing. There isn't a template for this. You have to set this on your own.
