Smile Help with some simple stuff :)

Hi, I'm a grad student at NIU working on my gradutae project in flexsim. I'm simulating an extended model of Chicago-Rockford Airport. We were taught the "basic" things in flexsim at school and after that I sort of self-taught myself.

Here are a few really simple questions:
1) How do I make the passengers (flowitems) walk?
2) How do I make the passenger stand "in front" of a process object instead of "on top" of it?

Thanks
Prajwal

Prajwal,

To make the person walk you will need to use a taskexecuter flowitem. Then in the flow tab check the Use Transport box and in the request transport from you need to select the option "TaskExecuter as FlowItem".

To make the person stand next to the processor instead of on it you will need to set it's location OnEntry of the processor.

Good Luck,
Brandon
