Default Negative values for conveyor "Product Z-Offset" in Flexsim 7

Hi,

I am trying to have pallets move under the conveyor in Flexsim 7 and am updating the "Product Z offset" to a negative value, but when I apply the settings it always reverts back to zero. I tried the same in Flexsim 6, and it works fine. Did anyone encounter this issue or know how to resolve this ?

Dear Achuta,


Use setvarnum(current,"prodzoffset",-1); your model will work.You might have tried setnodenum is it so.

Regards,

Arun

Default It works!!, but still dont understand why the option in GUI won't work

Hi Arun, Thank you for the solution, it does what I am looking for.

I did not try to use code before, as there is an option in the conveyor menu to enter the Z-offset value, but when a negative value is entered it resets to zero when I try to apply. It works fine if it is a positive value, I did not have this problem in Flexsim 6, and was trying to understand what might be causing this issue.
