Create model of 'Vertical conveyor belt with carriage unit'

[kyuyoung_k]

[ FlexSim 21.0.2 ]

Hi all,
I am trying to create vertical conveyor model to simluate my facility and the video I took with 5 boxes.
Wish to realize the features of

Feature 1) create vertical conveyor (with 4 carriage unit, of vertical speed 0.3m/s)

Feature 2) manually set up total number of source input as 5 (I took a video with only 5 boxes), so the simulation animation is gotta match to my video taken.
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtBKrpK-cZ0 : approaching to vertical (at 1F)
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch96h6byuxQ : landing out from vertical (at 2F)

Can someone help?

You asked this question in another post already.

You need a fixed interval movement (power and free) and you need to connect the conveyors.

Hi Jason,
from my model, standing one(just edited z-coordinate of the horizontal belt) was just to show what I want to create.

What I am trying to simulate shall be like below (carriage unit carries the boxes - without rotating box, saying box is containing water and stuff)

Hi,

Thanks to fl-up on this, Jason.

Tried the file you just uploaded, but the simulation running stops at exact 51.05 secs. (as below capture)

Is if fine working at your side without simulation stopping?

[jason_lightfoot_adsk]

Yes it runs fine fore me. I'm using 21.0.3 - you could try that.

further question -

Can you look up this attached file vertical-conveyor.fsm
and describe how can I edit -
1) number of this FORK(set as product in this file) generated? - want only 1 product generation per frequency. Now it's generating consecutive 9 FORKs per 1-frequency.
2) and frequency of this product generation?

[jason_lightfoot_adsk]

You should look at the arrival schedule of the source and the Dog interval of the conveyors.

[kyuyoung_k]

Can I find 'Arrival schedule' at..

1) 'Model properties' of Conveyor model itself?
2) or somewhere in the 'Process flow?'

That blue object in the 3D view with the green arrow is a source. Please do the FlexSim tutorials included in the manual.

Sir, Thank you so much!
I appreciate it.
