Create and Switch Different Factory Layouts (A* Nav)

Hello Everyone, I am looking to see if it is possible to create different factory layouts within my model and change the layouts when I goto run the experiment.

For example, I would like to run my experiment with this layout: And with a click of a button on my dashboard board, run an experiement with this layout:

In our actual model we are using A* Navigation, so I don't believe using the model layouts will work (based on other posts)

When I was looking into Vec3.project to see if I can move my objects, it did not seem to work.

Any suggestions, Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.1.0

Why wouldn't it work? You may need to disable caching of the AStar routes but otherwise I can't see an issue. You should be able to just set up a model parameter to choose the layout which you can then set in a scenario.

Hi Jason, So, should the model layout work if I redraw it? I'm very new to Flexsim, so how would I set up the parameters to switch between models?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Here's an example of using the layout in scenarios:

ExperimentLayoutScenario.fsm

Use the Model Layouts tool to set up your layouts:

Then set an option parameter for the layouts:

with this OnSet code:

treenode layouts = node("/Tools/Layouts", model());
string layoutname = getname(rank(layouts, newValue));
applicationcommand("changemodellayout", layoutname);

and then set up the experiment scenarios to set those parameters:
