AGV Speed as Parameters or Experimentation

mdemalia — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 15:21:50 GMT

[ FlexSim 21.2.3 ]

AGVModelExampleParameter.fsmI want to be able to run some experiments and change AGV Velocity, acceleration and deceleration over a path. In the AGV network I do not seem to be able to reference a parameter? Attached is a simple model. I essentially just want to change the speed of the AGV over a path to identify efficiency gains from varying speeds. Any suggestions?

You can use the OnSet trigger of the model parameter to set the value in the AGV Types table.

See the attached model.

@Matthew Gillespie (or others) would you be able to tell me how i would add a second AGV network to the model? Essentially I want to be able to have two different networks with different velocity acceleration etc. The method above works great for one, just not sure how to scale

@Michael D6 You can only have one AGV Network. But you can add more AGV Types on that first tab.

@Matthew Gillespie that makes sense. Thanks.

I was just looking in the wrong spot.
