Default SOURCE and SINK

Hi Friends,

I'm doing simulation for a manufacturing unit in which material will come from suppliers; which will be stored in racks in the RAW MATERIAL STORE ROOM.

Q1. How can I show this racks as the SOURCE (from where the components will be moved to the machines)???


Secondly, after all the operations are completed after inspection the material will come to finished stores..(placed in racks)

Q2. How can this racks as SINK?

Very simple:
place source in front of rack and make source invisible by unselect "Show 3D" on general tab

the same for sink, place it after rack and make it invisible. You can put a dwell time on the rack if you need.
