hello,
I now have an excel table that contains the distance between each site. Is there a way for me to directly import it into excel and create a site?
excel format：
A-B 20
A-C 5
A-D 50
B-C 20
B-D 60
...
Set the distance between multiple objects
FlexSim 22.2.0
To automate the placement of object based on distance you'd need to
- Get an array of all points that need to placed
- Go through that array, create an object and place it by
- Figuring out what distances are defined for that point
- Check which "neighbors" have already been placed and calculate the position relative to those
The script console of the attached model contains a script that does everything except calculating the actual position. But that is just simple trigonometry and subsequent vector maths.
