Default Importing Solidworks Files

Hi,

When i import files that i have created on Solidworks, i have a display problem concerning my item as you can see in the attachment. So, on the simulation the item is floating over the processor and it's not on it.

Any help for this issue would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Greetings,

Ismail.

Hello ismail,

Convert the file from Solid works into a Format that Flexsim can recognize. After conversion and exporting your file, make sure it is in the correct location and scale so that it will appear inside of your yellow selection box in Flexsim.Please refer in the user manual "shape factors" that explains how to fit your shape into the yellow box.

Hello Ismail,

You can use the setloc() command inside the on entry trigger of the processor to adjust the position of the flow item processed by the processor.

Regards,

Arun
