Setting speed for conveyor type?

Hi Team,

In older versions, there was option to select conveyor type speed but it is not available in newer version so what is the recommended way to do it?

I have the model from older version where speed is set for the conveyor type and it was working well. It is giving error in new version.

Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.3

Conveyor types were removed in version 21.0, what you are looking at are visualizations. Since then each conveyor properties are defined per individual object (same for decision points, photo eyes, stations, entry and exit transfers).

If you want to update multiple objects at the same time, you can select all of them (easy to do when they are part of a group) and make the necessary changes on one of them which will be copied to other selected objects.

Or use the "Edit Selected Objects" window under "View" in the top menu bar.

Hi @Felix Möhlmann,

Thank you for the clarification!

I know how to do it manually but I am using flexscript to make it dynamic based on condition. Do I need to loop it for the same type conveyors or any better way?

Thank you!

Yes, you will have to loop through the respective conveyors. Putting them into a group makes this easiest.

Note that changing the "Speed" property during the model run will not have any effect. It only sets the starting speed.

To change the conveyor speed during a run you have to set the "targetSpeed" property.

Object conv;
conv.as(Conveyor).targetSpeed = X;
