Thanks, I'm looking into this now.

Please send your current model *.spfx file to support@simio.com and we'd be happy to take a look at it. Thank you!

One option would be to have the entities transfer into a station and use the Wait step to 'hold' them there until something else triggers them to exit with a Fire step. The advantage of having the entity transfer into/out of the station is that the statistics of the station are captured automatically - for example, the number (average/maximum) in the station, the holding time in the station, and the counts of number entered / exited the station. The Transfer and EndTransfer steps would be used to move the entities into/out of the station and the station.contents queue can be used to animate those entities waiting. See the attached example, built using Simio sprint 91. WaitInStation.spfx

Nadine - Within Simio Enterprise edition, model or entity state information can be written to a table during the simulation run. Within all Simio editions, we have various Write steps that you can use within a Process to write specific entity or model information to either a *.csv file, Excel file or database. The UserDefined panel of steps can be found in the Processes window and includes DbWrite and other related database steps, ExcelWrite and other related excel steps and Write step.

Can you please attach the model you are having trouble with or send it to support@simio.com? Thanks.

Any 'rejected' type tasks are re-evaluated once the worker is available again (they won't just wait indefinately), FYI.

You may wish to review the SimBit "MoveableOperator.spfx" which is similar to what you are trying to do.
