Control points detached from AGV paths after reset

Hello everyone,


I'm trying to programmatically create some agv paths for a rack system but run into some challenges: I did call "finalizeSpatialChanges" for each of my control points created in the scripts. and they showed up to be attached to the agv paths after running the scripts.

But after I reset the model, the control points will no longer be attached on the agv paths.

Any ideas about what is missing? Thank you very much for the help. Here is a demo model: RackDemo_customCodes.fsm

If you right click on the nework and choose refresh path links it seems to prevent them from detaching.

However there's a bigger question around why you need this netwrok - maybe there's a better way to model access to the bay/levels/slots in the rack. If you describe what you're trying to do we may have a better suggestion.

Thank you very much Jason, gave it a try just now and it worked.


It is a new material handling concept where the shuttles "enter" the racks to access the the bays/levels with the assist of elevators (for higher levels), which means each rack can be a module and multiple modules can share the same fleet of shuttles. That's also why I'm creating paths with scripts for scaling purposes.


I think it's closer to the AGVs but please let me know if you have a better idea.

Ah I think we already gave you some feedback on that - Phil said to use an elevator and an ASRS with new shapes.
