Attached is an example model and user library comprising commands to return an array of objects whose bounding boxes intersect, and a Collision Detection object to drop into your model. The Collision Detection has a ticker interval label to adjust the frequency of checks and will switch the colliding objects to selected. It looks for two groups - "Obstacles" containing static objects in the scene (which may be overlapping and not recorded as collisions) and "Colliders" which are the objects navigating the scene and should be checked for intersecting bounding boxes. In the example model I'm adding the flowitem when it is created using Group("Colliders").addMember(item) The detector code is on its FlexScript label, 'analyseScene', which is first scheduled to run by the object's reset trigger. collisionDetection3.fsm BBCollisionDetection2.fsl
Dear FlexSim user, Update: Please see the FlexSim Newsroom announcement here: FlexSim Answers to migrate to Autodesk Forums on April 25 | FlexSim Original First and foremost, thank you for being an active and valued member of our forum. Your contributions help make this community a valuable resource for everyone, and we truly appreciate your participation. As you may know, FlexSim was acquired by Autodesk in late 2023. As part of this transition, we will be migrating some of our tools, including this forum, to a new platform which we expect to be completed by May 2025. You will be able to access Autodesk forums here. What This Means for You: Seamless Knowledge Transfer – All existing forum content will be migrated, ensuring continued access to the wealth of knowledge shared by our community. A Community-Driven Experience – The forum will evolve into a more self-sustaining, peer-to-peer support hub. While FlexSim support engineers will still visit the forum, when possible, our goal is to empower users to help each other, making this a truly community-led space. Ongoing Support for Entitled Users – We will share more details soon on how eligible users can reach the FlexSim support team directly. For now, we encourage you to continue engaging with the forum as you always have. Your involvement is what makes this community thrive, and we’re excited to embark on this new chapter together. Stay tuned for more updates and thank you for being an essential part of FlexSim! Best, The FlexSim Team

The attached model contains a basicTE to mimic some operations of a Tower Crane. You should be able to use it like any other task executer. Labels on the crane allow the speeds and operating heights to be altered. To change the jib/beam length use the label parameter and it will apply at reset. Similarly, to change the height for now just change the tower height and press reset to have the rest attached at the correct height. TowerCrane_basicTEexample.fsm Update: Added a user library that will scale the crane based on the model units. Also changed some labels so that rotational speed is specified there and the jib/beam now uses the object properties for max speed and acceleration. TowerCrane.fsl
This model contains example subflows for having a team of travellers travelling and loading/unloading. The RunSubflow for each creates that subflow's expected labels: team, teamItem, teamDesintation. Currently the offset locations are just a multiple of the x size of the first traveller. They are determined from the pick offset and place offset functions. Further work could add traveller un/loading and wait states and combine travel and unload tasks. TeamSubflows.fsl TeamSubflows.fsm Update 24Oct.'24 : Corrected incorrect label name in TeamTravel subflow should be looking for 'team', not 'travellers'

Node-locked
Node-locked can only be activated once. Be sure that you install the license where you would like it to be installed for the next year. FlexSim can assist with one migration for extenuating circumstances, such as a crashed computer, but there will be fees for any additional migrations. Please contact your distributor to receive assistance with moving your license. The node-locked license feature of terminal server usage (remote desktop) is disabled and cannot be enabled.
Transferable
There is no limit to the number of times a license seat can be activated and returned. If the transferable license is not a network license, then by default the license feature of terminal server usage (remote desktop) is disabled.
Please reference other articles or our documentation for further information about licensing.
If you have a contiguous conveyor network you can just route items using Conveyor.sendItem() and FlexSim will guide the item to the destination, passing through inline and side transfers as required for the shortest path. If between some conveyors you use exit and entry transfers, perhaps to easily add elevators and shuttles as transports between them - then you'll normally be faced with adding logic to figure out which exit transfer to go to and which port to take from that transfer - and in a large model that logic can be extensive and hard to maintain. The attached model and library provides commands for automated routing through multiple conveyor sub-sections connected through exit/entry transfers, to conveyor points and to connected fixed resources. This means that you may no longer have to write sendTo code with case statements on each exitTransfer to determine which port an item should exit through – nor possibly need to have decision points with case logic to decide the destination for Conveyor.sendItem(). In the example model three sources create items with random destinations which are routed through the conveyor system, transfers and port automatically to arrive at the correct destinations – some of the ports having transport to perform the move. To make this work in any model you should load the user library which will auto-install a set of user commands and a General Process Flow. The first step is to run the user command ‘createAllTravelMaps()’ which will calculate all the reachable destinations (decision points, stations, pes, attached fixed resources and transfers) from all the conveyor points and entry/exit transfers) along with estimates of the conveytime (from the conveyor class). This information consolidated to create the shortest routes and is stored in a label ‘travelMap’ on each decision point, station, pe and transfer. To make use of the travelMap data there are three additional user commands supplied that are intended to be used directly by the modeller: getNextConveyPoint(thispoint, destination) – returns the next point to send an item to from this point in order to ultimately reach the destination. getConveyExitPort(exitTransfer, destination) – returns the port through which an item should exit the exitTransfer in order to reach the destination. getConveyItemsNextConveyPoint(item, destination) – returns the next point to which an item should travel to reach the destination from its current position on a conveyor. The simple process flow in the example and library is set to listen to the Group members of EntryTransfers and ExitTransfers in order to lookup the ‘destination’ label and either sends the item to the next point or in the case of the exit transfers, overrides the sendTo port with the value from the map. I’ve added some documentation to the user commands which you can access easily via the command helper: ConveyorTravelMaps_0.3.fsl ConveyorTravelMapExample.fsm You may find createTravelMaps() takes a while which is why a progress bar has been added. You may not need all points to be evaluated exhaustively so the option to pass in a flag indicating to only start evaluation from Entry Transfers is given, which will create somewhat incomplete maps for intermediate points. A future refinement would be to account for transport time from exit transfers either by recording the times or providing port list with the expected times. Clearly if you make changes to your transfer positions or conveyor layout you should rerun createAllTravelMaps.
