Rotate Item at Decision point

Hi flexsim community,

In my model I am using six Decision points and trying to rotate the item at each decision point to some angle, i.e., 30,60,90,120,150,180 respectively. but the item is not being rotated.

Thanks In advance

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.5

@Sri_vikas K, please add a photo eye into a conveyor and choose from a trigger a template to move an item. Then you can look into the source code of this template, how it is done. If you want to do a kinematic, you should read the chapter in the reference manual. I am missing a reference to a kinematic node in your code. Some mechanism are documented in the manual. You should build them as stated. I am currently not convinced, that a generative code AI could build a script for FlexSim correctly.

Please provide link to the reference manual which directs me to understand your idea and get back to you.

I'm not seeing anything wrong in your screenshots, though the second one only shows a fraction of the code.

Could you upload the model (or a sample model) or at least show the settings you use in the trigger option?

I don't see anything in the options that would indicate why the rotation wouldn't work. Did you change anything in the trigger code after adding the rotate function?

The attached model mimics the situation in your screenshot. Does the rotation work there?

@Felix Möhlmann ,

The model you shared is very helpful, The flowitem is being rotated in my model through Z axis. Since it is in round shape I was unable to identify. I wanted to rotate the flowitem through the X axis.

Thank you

I wanted to rotate the item in this way

Why is it taking -90 deg through z axis and 180 deg through y axis?

I am Attaching the model below.

That is how you set the item to enter the conveyor in the Entry Transfer.
