Like regular entities, resource entities can be disposed by the Disposer block. With the merging/splitting units option enabled, the Resource Pool block disposes a newly arrived resource entity if the pool can merge the units of this resource with a compatible resource entity in the pool. Merging and splitting in a Resource Pool block is discussed in more detail in the section Merging and Splitting Resource Entities.

Resource entities that are attached to a controlling entity (or carrier entity) that enters a Disposer block are disposed along with the controlling entity.

Disposing resource entities with a Disposer block affects the total resource capacity available in the model. However, the automatic disposal of resource entities by the Resource Pool and Release blocks (when the merging/splitting option is used) does not.
