Is there a way to input custom paths for a large number of AMRs in CSV or another file form? We're looking to make demos with many (20-100+) AMRs in dense spaces, and we'd like to use custom software to come up with paths (no collisions), and then input this to FlexSim.
Thank you,
Simon

Would you want to import new data during the model run or precalculate the routes, import them once and then run the model?
In general you can import csv-files either by saving them as an excel-workbook and using the excel connection interface or by using importtable().
How the FlexSim model would use the data will depend on the format of the output from the pathing software. Building a model that has AGVs follow a path defined by waypoints (possibly with departure times attached to each) shouldn't be too difficult.
At first, we'd want to pre-calculate the routes, import them, and then run the model. Would it be possible to designate where each AGV is at each second with our input file?
Also, once you had the input file, how would you get that input file to make waypoints or control AGV movement in some other way?
