Hello, all FlexSim technical experts. I want to use kinematics to make an object move along a line segment in the shape of a racetrack. At a certain point in time, I trigger the kinematics code to make the object move a specified distance and then stop. Then, I trigger the kinematics code again to make the object move another specified distance and stop. How can I achieve this? I hope to receive your answers. Thank you.
I would start by parametrizing the track so the movement along it can be expressed as a one-dimensional motion. For example like this:
The first column defines the 'end distance' of the path section along the 1D-representation of the path. The second column is the type of motion. The third and fourth describe the heading and/or curve length of the section. For example in row one the path has a heading of 180° (-x direction) and in row two the start angle of the curve is 180° and so is the sweep angle.
A label on the Task Executer would keep track of the current position along the path, so you know what motion to add to the kinematics next when telling it to drive another X meters along the track.
