What are you trying to do with the data after gathering the travel time that this method seems inefficient?</P> Mon, 29 Oct 2018 20:52:59 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-obtain-the-travel-time-of-the-agv-between-2-control/m-p/13565327#M66975 joshua_s 2018-10-29T20:52:59Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-obtain-the-travel-time-of-the-agv-between-2-control/m-p/13565328#M66976 <P>The agv stops for a certain amount of time at each control point. But the time it waits for depends on the travel time it takes to get to that control point. </P> <P>I have differential acceleration and constant distance. So I have to find out how much time would it stay at the control point with a different accelerations.

You can use the basic equation below</P> <P><IMG src="https://www.dummies.com/wp-content/uploads/329842.image0.png" alt="image0.png" /></P> <P>where you would use the distance from the code given before, use the equation for half the distance and the acceleration you gave it, then multiple the time you got by 2 to account for deceleration, and then you have the time it will take to go from one CP to another.</P> Mon, 29 Oct 2018 22:50:05 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-obtain-the-travel-time-of-the-agv-between-2-control/m-p/13565329#M66977 joshua_s 2018-10-29T22:50:05Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-obtain-the-travel-time-of-the-agv-between-2-control/m-p/13565330#M66978 <P><A rel="user" href="https://answers.flexsim.com/users/10976/pinakink2.html" nodeid="10976">@Pinakin</A> </P> <P>Here's an example where you can calculate it beforehand in the script window, then run the model and see the output of the time it took for the taskExecuter to reach it's destination, and it checks out.</P> <P><A id="15286" href="https://answers.flexsim.com/storage/temp/15286-acceleration-example.fsm">acceleration-example.fsm</A></P> Mon, 29 Oct 2018 23:05:10 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-obtain-the-travel-time-of-the-agv-between-2-control/m-p/13565330#M66978 joshua_s 2018-10-29T23:05:10Z
