Default Question of moving the flowitem using TaskSequence Animation...

Help me!

I want to move the flowitem upward and downward before AGV traveling.
I am using animation with TaskSequence in the attached model.

The flowitems moved up and downward before AGV traveling In version 6.0 using same tasksequence and animation, I remembered.
But the items did not moved up and down in vertical and only moved horizontally.

What's the problem in my model in version 7.1.4?

Please make me know it.

Thanks.

Hello Syseo,

in Flexsim 7 the animation has to use a surrogate to represent the flowitem. An added animation object is replaced by the flowitem durring the animation. You find this described in the manual: Index Tab> Animation Creator Example > Surrogates.

I made AGVs anmation and surrogate for flowitems but the flowitems don't appear in AGV.


This attached model has TaskSequence and animation.
What's the problem in my model?


And...
Is it possible to use only animation without tasksequence?
I want to know another method to display the same simulation.

Default Hi. Sagar. I made AGVs anmation and surrogate for flowitems but the flowitems ...

Dear Sagar. Thanks for your reference guide.


My issue is different from surrogate in the fixed resources.
I have not any questions the surrogate in the fixed resources like processor and conveyor.


TaskExecuter has some different issues and in the case of using tasksequences.


Please help me!

Default how to switch on/off for the surrogate item...

Thanks for your example model.

But what I want to is...

1) While up and down, the taskexecuter can't start and should stand in the home position.

Is there a way to control the surrogate item in the tasksequence?
And how to switch on/off only the surrogate item in animation?

2) How to control TE not overlapped (protection collision) in one position.
I set the nodes to have only one TE but it is not valid.
How can I control it?

Hello syseo,

to the question how to switch the item shape in an animation on and off I changed the reference to the item in the command setanimationvar: on> item pointer, off>NULL. Maybe someone else has a better way.
How to combine animation and taskexecuter behaviour you have being starting well, insert further tasks to delay, call subtask or break to predefined animated tasks. Maybe someone show us how to use the trigger object in the animation schedule.

Beside to the animation you can still use kinematics.

Default Thanks. But the TE lift the item and move it at same time...

Thanks Vogel.


But the model show TE to lift flowitem and move to target at same time.
After lifting completely the flowitems without moving, TE should start to move to target position.


I can't control it in your model with the default tasksequence.
Is there any way in it?


I hope for your guide again.


Thanks.


P.S
My model tasksequence created in v6.x show animation after up and down lifting and starting to move it to target position.
And when v7.1.4 flexsim open it and run without fixing it, the animation show the same behaviour of v6.x like up / down without surrogate.
I can't understand flexsim 7.1.4 about it. When creating the same model in 7.1.4, the model does not show up and down without surrogate.
But the surrogate item appears before down. The surrogate item should not appear before down.
How can I control it?

Hello syseo,

I don't know how a model from version 6 is translated to version 7.
But attached you find a model which load and unload with several animations a flowitem in Flexsim 7. Perhaps, there are still some faults in the code since I don't know in which order an animation should start and end again.

Smile I finished the complete model which have some shuttles of lifting up and down and not collision...

I have finished my model completely.
Thanks very much for Vogel's guide till now.

The model has some shuttles to lift the items up and down at fixed position and then move the item to destination.

And the shuttles do not collide with each other at same home positions.

The model has tasksequence and animation of surrogate.
And also it has traffic controls not to protect the collision.

Thank you for Vogel very much.
