Combining in specific sequence

Good evening,

I am trying to combine items in a specific sequence so those items can be processed as a whole later on down the line. I found this forum answer by Regan Blackett to be helpful as it kept the model the most simple. However, when I tried to recreate it into my model it is not working properly. The boxes just stack up in Queues 5, 6, and 7 and never move to the "Combiner. I am looking for it to combine 2 black boxes, 3 green boxes, and 5 red boxes in that specific sequence.

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.0

Hello @Eric R6,

When you push the boxes to your list in your Queue you did not specify the partition ID. You can change the partition ID by selecting the edit parameters button and then selecting the double downward arrows. Then you should see what I have below. In the following image I set the Partition ID for the red boxes.

If you look at the Process Flow logic in the pull from list activity you will see it calls a specific partition ID.

This should allow your simulation to run.

Please let us know if you need more assistance.
