simulation - How to create multiple unloading dock using the selectOutput block?

Question

I am working on a warehouse simulation model and I cannot figure out how to increase the number of unloading docks while limiting the docks to one supplier truck. I got it working with 2 unloading docks using the select out with the condition is true when Unload_dock_1.isBlocked(). Anyone has tips on how to increase the number of unloading dock while keeping the restriction of 1 truck per unloading dock until released later.

Current model with two unloading docks

Kind regards, Stefan

Answer 1

You can duplicate several blocks into 1 agent and re-use it as many times as you want. Select the blocks, right-click and select "turn into agent" (or similar). Then, you can parameterize that and re-use 2 times, 5 times or 99 times.
