How to Split an item every X seconds

Hello everyone,

I am quite new in FlexSim and I have a question related to the spliting action. I have a very simple system where a single item is splited into 100 parts. The point is that I wouldn't like that split to be at once. What I want to achieve is that every 5 seconds one piece of the original material flows to the queue downstream. I would wonder how to do it, as every action that I have tried does not alllow me to do ths. Thanks in advance,

José

I split 101 items. The separator creates On Exit then 100 new items. The first entering item is the last to leave. I use this condition to send this item to another output port which goes to a queue connected to the input port of the combiner. This is the feedback to get the next 100 items. Additional I increment a label at the combiner. This label value sets a color to each new released 100 items.
