Queues
Description
This block stores up to N entities simultaneously, where N is the Capacity parameter value. The block attempts to output an entity through the OUT port, but retains the entity if the OUT port is blocked. If the block is storing multiple entities and no entity times out, then entities depart in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) fashion. If an entity in this block is scheduled to time out, then it might depart prematurely via the optional TO port. For an example, see Use Timeouts to Limit Entity Queueing Time (директория R2013a>SimEvents>Modeling>Entity Management>Timeout Modeling). The length of time that an entity stays in this block cannot be determined in advance.
The IN port is unavailable whenever this block stores exactly N entities. In this case, the queue is said to be full.
