I have created model for warehouse, in A* navigation I am using prefer path for forklift movement, its following the path but in zigzag, not straight line.
Is there any way to correct that?
why Forklift in zigzag movement using heat map
FlexSim 23.2.1
I see some network nodes here in the model. Forklifts connected to network nodes?
It is better to share the model, if the model is confidential share it as a private question
If i connect to network node, heat map doesnt work, so i am not using network node
The heat map works by counting how many times a cell of the A* grid was visited by travelers. The area corresponding to a cell is then colored based on the relative quantity of visitors.
If the travel path does not align with the grid, this naturally leads to the "zig-zag" pattern you are seeing. You can decrease the grid spacing to get a somewhat "smoother" line, but it will never be completey straight unless the travel direction aligns with the grid.
