Entity Sink - Accept or block entities

SimEvents Sinks

This block provides a way to terminate an entity path:

If you select Input port available for entity arrivals, the block always accepts entity arrivals.
If you do not select Input port available for entity arrivals, the block never accepts entity arrivals. The simulation issues an error message if an entity attempts to arrive at the block.
