@Vineeth N

I found two problems with your model that were causing the errors:

1. The main problem was caused by you trying to have Operator1 unload directly onto the conveyor. The way conveyors are designed, items must be unloaded at an Entry Transfer for them to function properly. Entry Transfers are created when making input port connections to conveyors, so it is a little tricky to unload onto a conveyor in Process Flow. To do it, first create an "A" port connection from the source to the conveyor:

Then, right click on the Entry Transfer and click "Remove Connections":

The result will be that you have a free Entry Transfer on the conveyor:

Finally, have Operator1 unload onto the Entry Transfer instead of directly onto the conveyor:

2. You had "Will Override Return Value" checked in your source.

When this is checked, FlexSim will expect a "Finish" activity later on in your Process Flow. If there is no "Finish" activity, it will throw an error. You can fix this problem by unchecking "Will Override Return Value".

Here's your model with both of those problems fixed: rackmodelanswer.fsm
