Max Content MultiProcessor

Hi,

For my model I need to use a MultiProcessor instead of a standard Processor. However, I miss one basic functionality of the standard Processor; the Max Content. As my MultiProcessor can only handle one flow item at the time (it is a jetty), I want to limit the number of flowitems in my multiprocessor to one.

Can someone explain me how to do this? Thanks.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.2.2

A multiprocessor can process only one item.

If you need a control mechanism to limit the input of a multiprocessor, you close the input of the processor in the OnEntry trigger, and you open the input when the processed item leaves in the OnExit trigger. This works only in standard 3D logic. You find predefined picklist options in the triggers under the menu item control.
If your logic consists of Process Flow and you use moveobject or unload activities to transfer items, you are responsible on your own to check, if the multiprocessor is populated by an item to delay the logic, until the multiprocessor gets empty.
