Hi I'm new to FlexSim, and try to understand the flow control between operators(token?). Attached is the model that I'm trying to have the two operators work simultaneously, but I just could not make it.
Any suggestion or linked pages/documents toward to a solution is highly appreciated.

Hello @Bin Y,
Currently for your Zone you are using the max content of 1 as a constraint. This will only let one token through, which is why you only have one operator working at a time since each token is associated with only one operator.
To fix this we want the zone to allow one token through for each operator. When a token is selected you will see that there is a label called resource that tells which operator is associated with that token.
We will use a zone partition to sort the tokens and place certain constraints on those sorted tokens. In this case we will partition/sort by the label resource and constrain the zone to only allow 1 of each label resource. I implemented this for both your zones.
See model for implementation.
