@Mischa Spelt

Hi,

I have installed FloWorks 20.0.0 but there appears to be a bug in the berth object? The properties attached to the berth object appear to be for the loading arm (see screenshot). And the taskexecuters will not go alongside.

Hi Justine, thanks for reporting this. It is unclear to me how or when this got broken, but I will make sure to fix it in the next bug fix release. In the mean time, can you please replace your floworks.t file in the <FlexSim>\modules\FloWorks folder with the attached version?
