Object inheritence

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or give some information on how i can create child objects from a class objects.

For example: I have 10 Machine with one common label. How can i create a master object/ class object with all the attributes/labels in it and then use this master object to create instances in the model. This will help me to manage the model well and I can make changes in one class objects and those changes are automatically inherited in the child objects.

Look at Help > About FlexSim. What version does it say you're using?


The template system is a new feature in 21.2.

@sachin T3 Your question is tagged as 21.2.1, which is why I directed you to the new feature in 21.2.


You will need to update to 21.2 to use the new template system.
