AGV Network - Issue Allocating Destination If Path/Body Offset

[iago_mf]

[ FlexSim 23.1.3 ]

Hi!

I was creating an AGV model where, 1 meter before reaching a workstation, I need to apply a lower precision speed than the AGV's usual speed. To achieve this, I created a LoadState called "Precision." So, I used a "travel" activity with a path offset of -1m to travel in the normal load state, and then another "travel" activity to complete that meter in the precision load state. The problem is that I noticed that nothing is being allocated from the last control point before the destination. I'm not sur if this is a bug, but, how could I ensure proper allocation as if I were traveling without a path offset?

I attach an example:

23.1 Not allocating if path offset.fsm

Thanks in advace!

Thanks for pointing this out - the lack of control area allocation looks to be a bug with any AGV offset travel (path or body), so I've sent it into the developers.

For now the only suggestion I have is to use standard travel and change the deceleration values such that the final arrival time at the destination CP is correct.

Hi, is there any progress on this? It still happens in version 25.0.2

It doesn't look like it from the issue tracker - I'll raise it to check the priority.
