Is it possible to verify my multi agv path planning algorithm using flexsim ？

[ FlexSim 22.2.0 ]

Can agvs' real motion be simulated through settings in flexsim? Can flexsim and algorithms be used for some data transfer? Are there any relevant examples to refer to？

Yes. Please check the online documentation which has sections on customization of the AGV routing and communications to external programs. FlexSim has a robust database interface as well as file and excel import/export. Furthermore the emulation module allows you to connect to equipment via protocols such as modbus, OPC-DA/UA etc.

If using sockets to communicate with algorithms is feasible, I have seen some simple examples, but still cannot achieve the desired effect

What's not working? Here's a 'fun' example.
