Exporting layout dimensions from FlexSim

[__ANON_USER__1]

[ FlexSim 18.0.10 ]

I want to place factory equipment according to the FlexSim simulation model.

However, FlexSim is not CAD, so it cannot draw factory layout drawings. Is there a good way to know the layout dimensions from a FlexSim model?

There is a Model Documentation feature in FlexSim. This can list allmost every code of Object triggers, spatial values and experimenter results and much more as an HTML-file. The feature isn't visible in the toolbar in FlexSim by default. You must add Reports and Statistics tool in the global preferences.

You find the icon in the toolbar most right next to online content.

If you click on the icon, a Reports and Documentation window opens.

The Tab Model Documentation contains several options to report. If you click the Generate Report button, FlexSim create an HTML-file in the project directory of your filesystem

file:///C:/Users/YourUserName/Documents/FlexSim 2019 Projects/modeldoc.htm

and opens the browser to show the content.
