Cams Module

Contributed by:

Cams Module

flexcon-cams v17.0.zip

This module permits to place cameras in the model and so to follow an object using the nearest camera.

How to install it:

  • put the "Cams Module" folder into the Flexsim "modules" folder
  • run Flexsim

This module adds:

  • the "Camera"object into the "Visual" section of the Flexsim standard library
  • "Cams" menu button

How to use it:

  • insert cameras into your model where you want and adjust z locations (it's not important where camera is looking)
  • highlight the object (maily a task executer) you want to follow
  • click on the Cams menu voice: "Set Cam focus to highlighted"
  • click on the Cams menu voice: "Camera activate"
  • run the model
  • the nearest camera to the focused object follows it
  • click on the Cams menu voice: "Hide Cams and Camera Manager" to hide or unhide cameras

Hi, @Marco Baccalaro

Could this version work in FlexSim2017.0.6?

I had put the "Cams Module" folder into the Flexsim "modules" folder, but it seems not work.
