Default Where can I find Programming Language Reference ?

Hi,
Where can I find details of programming language refrence of Flexsim? In model making, I meet lots of code problems, and the 'command summry' and 'command Hints' of Flexsim 3.0_6 are too simple. Are there details of programming language refrence or users guide of Flexsim? Who can tell me?
Thanks a lot!

The programming in Flexsim is quite easy. It consists of some basic C++ functions (if .. then.. else, for loop, while loop & case statement) and all the Flexsim commands.

There is some information in the User Manual. Take a look at: "Writing logic in Flexsim" and "Basic modelling functions".

Further more it is strongly advised to get at least a basic training somewhere.

If that is not possible try to find somebody that knows Flexsim a bit more so that you can ask questions.

And take a good look at the code of other models, especially on this forum there are a lot of simple models that show a principle or give you a solution how to solve things. Look at Downloads/models/User concepts. (Thank you Tom)

There is not such a thing as a programming language reference (actually the command list is a reference) because the language is C++ with commands of Flexsim

Thank you Steven Hamoen!
I am a jackaroo for Flexsim, in building models, I feel only through self programming the models can meet the needs of application. your suggestion "take a good look at the code of other models" is very usefull for me, Thanks a lot!

Hi, I'd suggest to upgrade to the newest version: 4.52 (!) is already some time out.
