Trigger when kinematics is added in Object kinematics and obtain its info?

Hello everyone,

After @Felix Möhlmann answered me this question (AGV: How to trigger when kinematics is added): https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/148025/agv-how-to-trigger-when-kinematics-is-added.html.

I was searching a similar thing for an object kinematics. However, I can't obtain or see the kinematics information as in the AGV: acc1, acc2, peakSpeed, peakTime, time, etc.

Is there a way to obtain it if the kinematics needed is not from AGV?

Thank you.

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.2

kinematics treenode kinematics with process flow

On the previous question (AGV), the trigger is activated when a message with a parameter is received by the AGV when a kinematics is added (AGVNetwork > customizationDelegate > addKinematics > edit the code to send a message to the AGV). And when it activates, we use commands as:

double totalDistMove = getkinematics(kinematics, KINEMATIC_TOTALDIST, 1);

double startTimeMove = getkinematics(kinematics, KINEMATIC_STARTTIME, 1);

double endTimeMove = getkinematics(kinematics, KINEMATIC_ENDTIME, 1);

double peakSpeedMove = getkinematics(kinematics, KINEMATIC_PEAKSPEED, 1);

double peakTimeMove = getkinematics(kinematics, KINEMATIC_PEAKTIME, 1) + startTimeMove;

double acc = getkinematics(kinematics, KINEMATIC_ACC1, 1);

double dec = getkinematics(kinematics, KINEMATIC_ACC2, 1);

However, if we use the Create kinematics, Travel with kinematics and finish kinematics with a normal 3D Object, I cannot see where are all of these options on the treenode and how do I call them.

@Jouky D, "kinematics" is a node reference. There you find the data!

I stopped the simulation when the Apply Kinematics is running, however, there are not information about it on the node Object. Do you have an example image to see it and how do you call it on flexscript?

You can react to tokens entering the "Apply Kinematics" activity, since that is when the kinematic is added. (Place a "Breathe" after the source so the kinematics are added before you try to do anything else)

You specify where the kinematic data is stored in the activities (by default in a label "kinematics" on the token), so that is where you can read the information from using getkinematics().

Thank you for your response! However, if I have to apply it onto 50 Apply Kinematics (because of different instances), it means a problem building that because I cannot put all the Apply kinematics into a new group and apply the trigger Source to that "Apply Kinematic's group".

Maybe FlexSim internally knows the same kinematics information as AGV's case but we cannot call it?

You can do exactly that, though?

Yep, I didn't know that! Thank you Felix!
