Disposing Resource Entities

Like regular entities, resource entities can be disposed by the Disposer block. Resource entities that are attached to a controlling entity (or carrier entity) that enters a Disposer block are disposed along with the controlling entity.

The Resource Pool block can also dispose resource entities. With the merging/splitting units option enabled, the Resource Pool block disposes an incoming resource entity if the Resource Pool block can merge the units of the new resource entity with a compatible resource entity in the pool. For more information about merging and splitting in a Resource Pool block, see the section Merging and Splitting Resource Entities.

Using a Disposer block to dispose resource entities affects the total number of resource units (capacity) 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.
