distancetotravel() improvement

[ FlexSim 19.1.1 ]

Hello,

Hope the command "distancetotravel()" will be better in future version.

In the model you can find 3 problems:

1. Result is not correct after AGV passed the destination.

2. Result is not correct on arriving destination (should be zero).

3. Result is not correct on calculating distance between AGVs.

Perhaps you can post an idea pointing out which features do you like inside an distance to travel command for the AGV module.

Hi @steven.chen,

I passed this on to our developers. Thank you for pointing this out to us.

Actually this is a request from our client, they would like to develop algorithm that optimize AGV dispatching. So they need the information of every distance between AGVs.

There is a thread on the old forum, which you maybe can adept to get the data you need.

AGV travel distance please, read the complete thread to the end
