Default displaying a physical connection

Hi everybody,

I would like to connect two trucks to each other and they travel all along the way in the connected form and in certain location the get disconnected.

well one way is to simply insert one in another one which is not what I am seeking for. I would like to be separate but a real physical connection (touch) being displayed.

I appreciate any comment.

You might use the combiner and seperator objects.
Then combine the two trucks into an transparent container where they travel together as a combined object.

Just an idea. I don't really understand the model so far.

Thanks for the comment.
Well, don't we need to make a transporter become a flow item before being able to send it to combiner?

Are you talking about Flexsim CT? If so it would have been nice if you mentioned it in your opening post ...
