Default Problem With Combiner

I updated to Flexsim 5.1 and started noticing that all the objects that I sent trough Combiners were no longer locating componets inside the container. Have I missed something? Attached is a simple model that illustrates the problem. (Simply two sources, pallets and boxes, sent to a combiner, 3 boxes are combined with a pallet, and a output queue).

Thanks for your help

I've confirmed this with my session too - the code in the palletentry node of the session was missing.

Until we can confirm a cause and fix you can load the library attached and use Pallet2 flowitem.

Reinstalling Flexism didn't solve it. Correcting the node and recompiling the entire session only solved the problem until the next session.

Yes, the code in the palletentry node disappeared in the version 5.1.0. We will resolve this issue in version 5.1.2 due out this week. No changes are necessary to your model to have the problem fixed in the new version.

Thanks for your replies, you've confirmed what I thought had happened. As a workaround I set the location of the components on the exit trigger.
