Default GANGWAY IN PLANT

Hi,

How can I show a gangway in the manufacturing plant??

All the job should move only though the gang way only.

If your speaking about a gang way that all your Taskexecuter should use, build up a Network by using Networknodes.

Hi Naveen,

you can use network nodes. Please have a look in the tutorials (Lesson 3 > Step 8) and the NetworkNode chapter of the manual (Flexsim Object Library > Other Discrete Objects > NetworkNode).

The explanation in the manual is very good


greetings

Carsten

hi sebastian and carsten,

Thank you for the solution. Also I'm expected to show a gangway in the plant(highlight) it as a road or as a path.

How can I do it?

regards,
p.naveenkumar

Am not sure, if I understood what you want. Think you want to visualise the gang way!?
This way just lay an visual tool behind your network an give it a shape of your real Layout or self created picture.

If this isn´t what your looking for, please try to explain more exactly.

hi sebastian,

Yes! I want to visualize a gang way in the manufacturing unit/layout.

But then, I didn't get you as to how I can do it. Kindly, throw some light.

thanks,

Take the Visual Tool from library. Open properties and search your Layout in Display Tab under "Filename".
There are different types of data allowed. Just try out what type is best for you.
You even can change "Visual Display" from Plane to Imported Shape.

After you got your Layout in there, you only have to set the correct size. I normaly get a conveyor and give it a size that matches with anything in my Layout. This way I change size of Visual Tool as long as all sizes fit.
