- Go into Objects and Containment
- Create two new objects - 'Part 1' and 'Part 2'
- Check Display Object Value
- Create a Start Process, 'Start', a Generic Process, 'Process', and an End Process, 'End'.
- Use the Interprocess Connection tool to connect the model from 'Start' to 'Process' to 'End'
- Next select 'Start'
- Go into Define Object Creation Rules
- Switch to Create Objects Based on Distribution
- Set the Distribution Percentages
- Part 1 - 50%
- Part 2 - 50%
- Now select the connection line leaving 'Start' and Customize
- Go into Behavior: Conveyors, Polling, and Carriers
- Check Block if next destination is busy
- Finally select 'Process'
- Go into Process Timing Properties
- Part 1 - 30 Seconds Min/Max
- Part 2 - 60 Seconds Min/Max
- Switch to the Simulation tab and click Start
- View the Selected Item Analysis window and select 'Process' and look into the Process Progress to see the difference in Avg. Processing between the two objects.
