ASRS with 2 slides for load and unload

Hello to everyone.

I designed an ASRS with 2 slide.

Is there a way to select the first slide to load and second slide to unload ?

Thanks in advance for your advice and help

Here's an example of a ASRS type behavior with four load positions. It uses the BasicTE's begin/update/finishOffset triggers to create the kinematics. It relies on being in a container alongside the rack in order to substantially simplify the kinematics.

If you start with default AS/RS library object, it won’t work, because internal code has got an overriding mechanism. Developer will see this differently. You could copy the load and unload mechanism code from library node in main view to your customized object and update the code there.
I suggest you design your own AS/RS from a basic Taskexecuter object and implement animations or kinematics for load and unload events.
Phil Bobo added some download tutorials for the animation creator from an older FlexSim tutorial. One of them describes how to animate an added object component in conjunction with an item.
I add a link to an answer where I collected the links:

Further more there is a similar approach by kinematics:

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/22.0/Reference/DeveloperAdvancedUser/Kinematics/Kinematics.html

I am not sure which approach is used in default ASRS library object. It is probably one of them. You can analyze how the developer have done it in main tree view node library taskexecuters.
