Default discharge box on the continuous space

Hi everybody,

Imagine an operator collects a box from the source and needs to put if let say at coordinate x,y,z and later this be loaded by a lift-truck to a destination.

How one models this in Flexsim.
I understand that a coordinate task sequence let you use TRAVELTOLOC, but at the same time this functionality needs an input port to deliver the box which does not exist perhaps at coordinate xyz.

is there any work around it?

any comment is appreciated.

Hello Shahin,

you can deliver the flowitem to model() and choose any port your own.
To place the flowitem at the coordinates, set the location (setloc(obj,x,y,z)) of your item OnUnload or on a delayedmessage.

Thanks for the comment.
So, if one needs to collect the flow item again after T unit of time, how does it make sense to collect the item again?
How does one collect it after a while and let say deliver it to sink or any where else.

Hello Shahin,

write your own tasksequence which should consist in a part of
TASKTYPE_LOAD // Load the Item to the Taskexecuter
TASKTYPE_FRUNLOAD // Unloading the Item to a Fixed Resource Object

Beware of delivering flowitems to the model space instead of an fixed resource object you change the standard procedure to handle flowitem work.
Therefore read the documents on Fixed Resources carefully. Your model may behave strange.
