How to set the flow of a Truck if it has a container
Hi!, i need some help, i have finished the model of our CT but i have been required to include in the model a new process that is already under implementation.
The fact is that when a truck arrives at a point (Gateroad or Networknode) it can flow in two directions, depending if it carries a container or if its doesnt. In what i need some help is how to indicate the truck which flow to take. I have already seen some options like in the properties of the gateroad, in flow section in the "send to port" option, but i have no idea of how to make it work. I hope some one can help me! |

You can use content(item) to see whether the truck has a container.
The content() of an empty truck is 1 (just the chassis). The content of a truck with container(s) is greater than 1. |

Thank you, i have been able to make it work in Gate Roads, but all my other connections are made with network nodes, so my question is if i can do the same operation using them or i have to change that part of my connection with Gate Roads?

Objects travel along the network in the shortest path to their destination. Control the destination by using the condition and the network path choices will be done automatically.

Thank you, in that case i think that´s not the solution for what i´m trying to do, so, is there a way to make trucks go in a different flow depending on a case? I already try to do it with gateroads but it seems not to work if i put it between NetworkNodes or between YardtoGate and GateSink.
