Abstract: Continuous Petri nets have been introduced to avoid the explosion of the number of reachable markings in a classical Petri net when this net contains a great number of tokens. By means of an elementary example, the paper shows that the model can be used to model a system with concurrency, synchronisation, parallelism and where the concerned entities are heterogeneous.
