I have a user command which gets executed everytime a package is loaded onto ASRS. When this happens, I want to calculate the distance of ASRS along the network edge. However, as seen below the function is not returning the distance correctly.
File name is Warehouse_getDistance
Use vectors to find the distance along the path between two netnodes when the traveler is no longer travelling along the edge due to offset travel:
- Vec3 p1=Model.find("NN2").as(Object).location;
- Vec3 p2=Model.find("NN3").as(Object).location;
- Vec3 p12=p2-p1;
- Vec3 t=Model.find("Transporter1").as(Object).location;
- Vec3 p1t=t-p1;
- double distAlong=p12.dot(p1t)/p12.magnitude;
- return distAlong;
An ASRS Vehicle doesn’t drive on an Network in warehouse aisles. It performs only Offset travel tasks for load and unload tasks then. It is still connected to a networknode, which is taking part to be a transfer point of load and unload actions.
Perhaps you can evaluate kinematics of such an object to get your desired data.
