Kiva System Coding

[ FlexSim 20.0.10 ]

Hi, everyone.

I'm trying to do the Kiva system through youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AQ-cjOS9tY&t=2724s

The coding in dynamic barrier management at 26:52, it is use for avoiding the racks after AGV loading the rack. But "Storage.QueryFlags.OutboundItems" can not use in 20.0.7 version. And I have looking for the code in Flexsim doc. It seems that the coding can't use before 2021 version.
I want to ask if there is any other way to solve this problem or if there is other code can subtitude in 2020 version, thank you.

No there aren't any other mechanisms in FlexSim 2020 that replicate A* dynamic barriers in FlexSim 2021. We are specifically adding new features to allow for simulations like these Kiva systems. The best solution is to upgrade to the latest version.

@anthony.johnson : Is there any dev item in the pipeline to consider size of robot in A star navigator? This is useful when there is robots with an over hang such a AutoStore (https://www.autostoresystem.com/) like system.

Got it.

Besides, can AGV avoid the flowitems in the floorstorage?
My main objective is to let the AGV that loads the rack won't go through the floorstorage that has rack in it.

As Anthony said above, the items on the floor storage can be acknoledged as dynamic barriers by robots in 2021 edition. You need understand the meaning of 'static' and 'dynamic' barriers.
