Connections

Connections are used to model the flow of entities through your simulation. Below is a brief description of the three available connection types. For more information on setting up and defining connections, see Connecting Shapes.

Plain Connector This connection type will have no effect on your model during simulation, and should only be used to add visual elaboration to your diagram.
Routings A routing connects an activity to another activity and defines the movement of entities from one activity to another.
Arrivals An arrival connects an entity to an activity and defines the rate, schedule, or pattern in which entities are created and arrive at the connecting activity.
