How to update an A* grid?

[ FlexSim 24.2.2 ]

Hi,

I would like to ask how can I update the A* grid within a simulation run. Some of the objects that are connected to the A* navigator move during simulation and therefore I would like to update the A* grid in order to maintain the corresponding routing.

How can I do it?

Thank you,

Martin

I don't know if that's possible. If the objects switch between a small number of known locations, you could place barriers on those locations and use rules/conditions to only have them active while the object is there.

Or you add the objects as dynamic barriers during route calcution as is done in the Kiva example model.
