Retrieve all nodes connected to a network node via code

[ FlexSim 21.0.4 ]

Trying to get all the nodes connected to a given network node. I want to store them in an 'Object' variable and use for further logic. I explored the tree to see if I can sample something but couldn't find it. the 'connectionsout' node cant be used for sampling the connections.

Connections out will work - a simple recursive function will do what you want.

Was able to do it with following code. Needed to slice the string to take the 'To' out and obtain object name.

Array array = Model.find("Floor_1Cross_1_2").find(">connections/connectionsout").subnodes.toArray();
string obnum = array[1].name;
int length = obnum.length;
string obnum_new = obnum.slice(4,length+1);
Object nn = Model.find(obnum_new);

You could just use outObjects or the value of the connection node and finding the ownerobject of that.
