How to Use the Model Object

1. Open Your Model: Open your model or create a new blank model.

   1. Locate the model object Simple Conditional Routes and select the insert button.
   2. Move the cursor to the point of insertion and left mouse-click. The upper left corner of the model object will be inserted at the location of the mouse-click.
3. Connect to Your Model
   1. Connect an arrival route or a percentage route from the part of your model where you would like the entities to follow a condition, to Determine Route.
   2. Connect the routes exiting Determine Route to the rest of your model.
4. Update Objects: Modify the action logic in Determine Route to meet your conditional requirements.

   This model object uses a simple distribution in the action logic of “Determine Route” to assign a route number. But you can use whatever logic is needed to determine which route to select. It could be anything from a simple calculation to a complex boolean expression based on a variety of criteria.

5. Completion: The model object is now integrated into your model, you should now be able to save and then simulate the model.
