Modeling energy consumption

Hello,

I'm trying to model energy consumption of a robot on Flexsim based on its state and time duration, I'm able to measure real energy measurement directly from it and i'm wondering if it is possible to integrate these data to the model ? and is there any existing module of Energy consumption on Flexsim ?

Thank you in advance for your kind response

This is a demo I had worked up for a customer late last year. It uses an Object process flow with kinetic tracked variables to set the energy consumption rate based on object state for attached task executors. It can probably be adapted for robots pretty easily.

Process flow variables are used to establish thresholds for fuel levels, fuel usage and recharge rates and refuel points so that the objects can simulate a "refuel" task when needed.
