- Start by going into Objects and Containment and creating three new objects:
- Part1
- Part2
- Part Container
- Click Components for 'Part Container'
- Add both 'Part1' and 'Part2'
- Set the Min/Max for 'Part1' to 3/3
- Leave 'Part2' at 1/1
- Let’s change the color of each of the new objects to make identifying them easier, go into Define Object Dimensions and 3D Control and give each object a new color
- Lastly check Display Object Value, this will show the name of the object during simulation
- Start building the model by using the Start Process tool
- Create 'Start Part1'
- Go into Define Object Creation Rules
- Set Object type to Create to 'Part1'
- Repeat these steps for 'Part2'
- Next use the Generic Process tool
- Create 'Assemble Container'
- Click Customize and go into Process Assembly/Disassembly
- Check Enable object assembly
- Find 'Part Container' from the drop down list and Add Object Definition
- Here we will check both Assemble and Create Object
- Now use the End Process tool
- Create 'End' and connect the model as shown
- Now select both lines leading into 'Assemble Container'
- Right click and go into Item Properties
- Click Customize and go into Behavior: Conveyor, Polling, and Carriers
- Check the following:
- Block if next destination is busy
- Ignore Active Objects at Destination
- Allow Objects Based on Assembly
- Switch to the Simulation tab at the top and click Start
- Notice how only the objects needed for 'Part Container' are sent to 'Assemble Container', no matter the order only the parts needed will be released to that process
