A difference when storing a container item and a basic item

I found a problem in my model storing the container items in the rack.

When storing basic items, the feature is OK.

But when storing container palettes packing items, the configure of storing packed palette is not normal. The packed item boxes are not considered. What's the problem in my model?

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.2.4

The size of a container doesn't take into account the size of the stored items in or on the object. That is quite obviously, if you highlight the container object. If you need a different behavior you can try to set the location of the stacked pallet by evaluating the height of the container and his stored items. Another approach consists of rebuilding the structure of the container. The size of the container represents the content of the stacked items. But the items and the pallet itself are drawsurragte objects of the container item.

A more robust but laboriuos task consists of adding an own object shape for each variant of a loaded container into the model and exchange the shape and set the size of the item.

@Seung Yong Seo, I couldn’t get this out of mind, because the current default setting of racks fill slots until they are full. If haven’t found a switch or option to set a maximum content easily. During my tests I found a strange behavior with an dynamic container item inside queues and asked it. But the model of this question would certainly help you to fill slots in a new warehouse rack, because height of pallet rises, when an item is moved into. The Model contains a pallet in the flow item bin, that rises dynamically. I’ll update here if I can add a function to reduce the height, when items are moved out.
