How to disable livelock prevention on SimEvents?

4 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to run a simulation with large numbers of entities on SimEvents (MATLAB R2017a), but I get the following error:
While this page implies that this is a fixed limit, this obsolete documentation page shows that the "maximum events per block" parameter was once configurable.
It seems odd that they would simply lock this parameter at 5000, effectively limiting SimEvents use for larger scale simulations, so I would like to know if there's any way to override these settings.
Thanks!

There are some workarounds:
(1) registering events on one block(say, Entity Generator) with time offsets: for example, event type 1 occurs at time 0, event type 2 occurs at time 0.001, etc.
(2) registering events on more than one block: for example, creating two distinct Entity Generators and each one registers half of events.
