Record the current speed of Task Executor at specific point in time?

[ FlexSim 22.1.0 ]

I want to record the speed that a task executor is moving at various intervals during a model run. I see there is a "lastupdatedspeed" in the tree but it doesn't seem update to 0 in tests I've run when a TE slowed down to zero movement. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi @Noah Z,

You can refer to this post: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/85677/view.html?overrideforward=1

It is generally easier to find the speed of an AGV, and there is a link in the post that should go into more detail there. For any other network, Tanner's answer should be the best approach.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the response. My TE isn't an AGV so I would have to default to Tanner's answer as a last resort. However, I would be shocked if there isn't a entry for speed for a normal operator somewhere in the depths of the tree which would enable me to avoid a bunch of calculations every few seconds for hundreds of operators.

You can use getkinematics() to read the speed at the current time from the kinematics node.

getkinematics(Object.find(">variables/kinematics"), KINEMATIC_VELOCITY, 0, Model.time)

@Noah Z ,please check if those kinematics values are still valid, if a traveler has been stopped by time table, MTBF / MTTR or an preempting tasksequence. I don’t know if a kinematic node gets recalculated, if stop events occur, or if events in event list gets only delayed and then kinematic node data kept unchanged.
