Moving an AGV to another floor using elevator

[murilo_b2]

[ FlexSim 20.1.2 ]

Hello,

In the attached model, I'm trying to send an AGV to another floor using an elevator.

The problem is that the AGV is moving to the ground when it arrives in the second floor.

Please advise if there is anything wrong with my model.

Thank you.

@Murilo B2,

There seems to be a bug in the 2020 Update 1 AGV Elevator Process Flow. I went through activity by activity and watched the Event List and label changes until I found the discrepancy. I'll notify the developers @anthony.johnson @Matthew Gillespie @phil.bobo and then provide a workaround.

The problem is happening because of the Create Preempting Task Sequence activity. The activity's Wait for Finish State is set to "Allocated Idle" by default. By setting this to "Do Not Wait for Finish TS", the AGV functions as it should.

I'll let the developers determine whether this is a bug or an intentional change, but I've updated your model with the workaround described and it seems to be fixed. Let us know if you have additional questions.
