How to make Sequential of Object Flows


Based on the FlexSim Manual
I am trying to make a Sequential of Overview of 3D Object Flows.

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/19.0/ConnectingFlows/Overview3DFlows/


But I don't know how to make it.
Where can I get knowledge?

Hi anonymous user,

There are a lot of variations on the ways you can accomplish this flow, but the main idea is that you're going to reference the Global Table to determine what labels are set and where the items are sent.

I've developed some logic in your model that should help you achieve what you're looking for. Unfortunately, I don't know of any specific tutorials, but I'll try and explain what I've done and then if you have any specific questions, you can ask them here.

One key element of what I'm doing is using the item list. An item list can be used to push and pull items based on labels, which is what I've done here. Items receive a label called "nextJob", which determines which job the item is supposed to go to next. The queues pull based on the label "nextJob", and then the queues can feed into the processors.

When the processors finish processing, they update the "rowNum" and the "nextJob" label and then push the items to the list for pulling.

The interactions between the processors, queues, and the list handle all the material flows in this model.

Take a look at this model and let me know what questions you have, if any.
