Hello
As the title, when I run a kinematic, I want to get distance between two objects in real-time, sometimes maybe the object is a line or cube, so that is the problem.
best wishes
How to measure the distance between two objects in real-time
FlexSim 23.1.3
Hi @Orry,
This post may be helpful. https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/79893/distance-between-two-objects.html
Can you post your model?
For two objects : obj1 and obj2
Vec3 centres=Vec3(0.5,0.5,0.5); // set up centre factors for the axes updatelocations(obj1); // in case they are moving updatelocations(obj2); Vec3 locDiff=obj1.getLocation(centres).project(obj1.up,model())-obj2.getLocation(centres).project(obj2.up,model()); // projecting onto the model in case they are in different containers/coordinate systems double distance=locDiff.magnitude;
You can also use more vector operations to define a line and then the shortest distance of an object to it.
Sorry, does the vector means x, y, z axis? I don't know much about this
