Hi guys. How can I start an elevator bank from the first floor instead of the ground floor? Thank you for the help!

I believe it is not possible to have the elevator start anywhere than the bottom floor. The best you can do is tell it to move to the first floor as soon as the simulation starts (and possibly delay the start of the rest of the model logic until it has arrived).

See the linked post.

I've seen that answer but I can't understand how to use the function Elevator.movetofloor(). I'm new to flexsim and I am not so expert in coding. Can you give an example about how to use the function. Thank you so much.

You should be able to open the model from the linked post in a current version. But to be sure, here is a simple example in version 24.2.
