Location and Model Throughput are on the list for additional templates in the next version of FlexSim. For now, you can use the Calculated Table directly to get the data you want.

The Model Throughput is recorded in the CensusHistory table. The throughput per location is recorded in the LocationCensusHistory table. In both cases, there is an InOut column which is 1 if the person entered, and -1 if the person exited. You can count the rows with -1 values in the InOut column using a query, and then chart the result.

See the attached model:

Have you used a Statistics Collector before? I have updated your model to use a Statistics Collector, which can listen to multiple objects and report statistics from those objects.

There's a lot of versatility using the Statistics Collector. Let us know if you have questions.
