To model a numerical dependency structure matrix (DSM) in flexsim

I am new to flexsim and I need help in solving my problem.

My requirement is to simulate a information flow in design process, which have 42 activities. Each activity have durations and I have set it in processor. For multiple outputs, I have used Separators and combiners for multiple inputs. I have made port connections for this. The flow from each activity should be based on probabilities, which I tried to define in output tab of "Separators" using option "by percentages". I need to put combiner condition to wait for inputs from all activities to start its working to make a single object. If there is a closed loop iteration, i need to take count of number of iterations also. I don't know how to do it, as I can't find a similar problem from user manuals. The output I require from the problem is different possibilities of total durations of project and number of iterations for different process

I have attached flexsim file I have been working on and the excel file showing my DSM matrix.

Couldn't you just increment a label on the flowitem everytime it exits an object? Item labels are the key to solving this, I think.
