Output flow to different locations based on label

I am simulating a 8 machine cell that runs two operations on materials using specific machines per material but the same machines for both operations. The conveyor adds a OP_Code label of 10, P2 sets the label to 11, and OP20Rota_Stand sets the label to 20. OP10_Load "queue" is supposed to use the label to determine whether to send the material to queue 1 or to OP20Rota_Stand "queue".

Currently the OP10_Load will try send both OP 10 and 11 to Queue 1.

I will be doing the same scenario with the other 5 conveyors and 5 materials types total. If anyone has a way to make this easier I would be very grateful. I tried to use process flow but I am still new to flexsim and was unable to use this method.

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.0

Hi @Alex H4

Would you be able to upload your model just as a flexsim (fsm) file instead of in a zip? I can't seem to open it. Thanks.

It looks like the output port of OP10_Load has a box that is checked on the Reevaluate Sendto on Downstream Availability and it is conflicting with the Input of Queue1. If you uncheck this box, then it works. This might be a bug and we are looking in to it. The model stops flowing because the OP10_Load queue is full and is waiting to be available.

Let me know if this is what you were thinking. There are other errors, but I assume the model isn't completely finished yet. I have attached below the updated model.
