Now, the problem is that when output opens in processor, the discharge quantity in first discharge hour is very high, it seems due to the discharged products are accumulated during output close period and immediately shoot out when output opens. May I know how to make the discharge in every hour following a usual distribution. Thank you.
Hi @Chen W2,
The build up of parts when the output is closed is happening because the processor is still processing even when the output is closed. If you want the items to exit the processor at the same rate/interval as when they enter, you need to stop the processor, not just close the output port. Here's an updated version of your model where the processor stops instead of just closing the output port. The discharge after each down time is no longer abnormally large.
