Server Capacity > 1, Can Entities in Process have different processing times?

[Frankurb79]

My model assigns capacity of 8 to a server.

Two types of Entities arrive...A and C. Before each entity is processed, I am assigning the server's process time using two different random distributions, one for A types and another for C types.

My question is whether or not the processing times for any 8 entities in the server at a given time will process to different process times? Or, will the process time of the last entering entity reset the process time for the others that are already in the server?

If the processing time specified at the server (with capacity > 1) is based on the entity type (A/C), the processing time value itself is determined when the entity has capacity at the server and enters the processing area and starts the processing delay.

So, for example, let's say both entity A and entity C entered at the same time (into a multiple capacity server). Given that there is capacity, entity A would delay for processing time for A, where entity C would delay for processing time for C - given the Processing Time property of the Server somehow evaluates the entity type - either through a table entry row based on the entity type or entity attribute, etc.

Thanks. I can see it now working as you indicate in Trace list. Appreciated.
