Leave module
D ESCRIPTION
The Leave module is used to transfer an entity to a station or module. An entity may be
transferred in two ways. It can be transferred to a module that defines a station by refer-
encing the station and routing, conveying, or transporting to that station, or a graphical
connection can be used to transfer an entity to another module. When an entity arrives at a
Leave module, it may wait to obtain a transfer device (resource, transporter, or conveyor).
When the transfer device has been obtained, the entity may experience a loading delay.
Finally, the entity is transferred from this module to a destination module or station.
