FlexSim 2024 Beta: Allocate Control Area

Hi It seems that the script under the Allocate Control Area for Conveyor is for AGV.

Could this cause an error as below?

time: 39.704861 exception: FlexScript exception: Invalid down cast. Object is not an instance of the target type. at MODEL:/Station1>variables/onArrival

Hi David,

I think it is working as intended, see the example on the documentation:

That conveyor item will block that control area, so travelers will not be able to pass through it.

You still have the acquire and release scripts for control sections on conveyors.

I hope it helps you!

You should pass a Control Area object to the Control Area field. You are passing a Station object. Connect the center port of your station to a control area, not another station.

Also, you'll get better answers if you post an actual model demonstrating the issue instead of screenshots.
