The Entity Multicast block broadcasts entities. An entity that arrives at the block is cloned into copies and sent with a Multicast tag. Each Entity Queue block with Entity arrival source specified as Multicast with the same Multicast tag receives copies. For more information, see Overview of Queues and Servers in Discrete-Event Simulation.
