AGV Network: Elevator not working

kumardubey — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 22:09:54 GMT

Dear All,

I was attempting to follow the tutorial for AGV provided by flexsim. Specifically, following the Step 6 Add Elevator Redirect and Entry Control Points of AGV 4.3 - Using Elevators With AGVs. After completing the necessary steps for adding an elevator , the elevator in the attached file does not seem to move vertically in order to deliver items across multiple floors when I run the simulation. I am new to this software and so any help regarding what conceptual mistake I might be making would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,

Kumar

The label on the redirect CPs has to be called "floorZ" instead of "floorz".

This worked. Thank you for your assistance. In order to avoid this issue in the future. I wanted to better understand my mistake. Should the label on redirect CPs must not have spaces? I was curious to know why "floorZ" and "floorz" would be read differently by flexsim.

FlexScript is case sensitive. floorZ and floorz are two different names.
