SKIP ANIMATIO PROCESS OF LOAD AND UNLOAD OF FORKLIFT

Hi friends!

I want to skip all the time of load and unload of the forklift during the simulation beacause take a lot of time I am considering that the load time is 0 but to load the 5600 flow items stop all the simulation until collect the 5600 flowitems

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.0

proces flow transporters efficiency

@DaniCor, if you don’t want to have an animation, then you can use another vehicle like a taskexecuter.

@DaniCor, A taskexecuter object belongs to the same class as a transporter. Then you have used a different connection like center port connection to attach a taskexecuter to a dispatcher. Perhaps you try it with a small example model, which you can share, if you don’t get it to work.

If 5600 flowitems are loaded at once it sounds like they should be in a container, unless they're scooped out of a vat.

If you want to avoid the unload time you can disable travel offsets for load/unload tasks on the transporter.
