Model Stops Running

I am working on a model that simulates a distribution center. My model keeps stopping at 6392.44 seconds. It looks like it is during a travel event where a transporter is moving a flowitem from one rack to another rack. I can't figure out why the model keeps stopping at this time. It looks like my file is too large to attach but I have attached some pictures that show what is going on at the time the model stops.EventList.PNGFromRack.PNGToRack.PNG

I was able to shrink the size of the model and attach it.Dist Center Model.fsm

If you set the Turret Truck to not use the A*Navigator for offset travel it will work.

I was looking to use the Heatmap option to map all travel. Are there any adjustments I can make within A*Navigator to prevent it from stopping so I can still show the heat map within the aisles?

Hi @Steven C17,

I changed the forklifts in your model to the option "Travel offsets for load/unload tasks" and it doesn't appear any different in terms of the heat map. It still shows the heat map within the aisles as you requested.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have further questions!
