Hi everyone

After updating a model from Flexsim 17.1.6 to 18.2.2 I got the following error:

exception: FlexScript exception: Invalid Variant types in + operation at MODEL:/Tools/ProcessFlow/MaterialTransport/Update feeds>variables/codeNode

, which is thrown for the following lines of code:

double valueToAdd = token.valueToAdd ;
token.labels.assert("feedToUpdate").value += valueToAdd;

Anyone who has experience with this error, as I have never received it before...

Kind regards

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.3

You didn't specify an initial value for the label in the assert() command, so it isn't giving the label data.

You are trying to add (no data) with a (double), which throws an exception.

From the Release Notes of 18.2.0:

Pass 0 as the second parameter in your assert() call:

double valueToAdd = token.valueToAdd ;
token.labels.assert("feedToUpdate", 0).value += valueToAdd;
