CONV_INFO_ESTIMATE_CONVEY_TIME not depending on distAfterSource ?

Hello,

When I use the command "conveyorinfo" with "CONV_INFO_ESTIMATE_CONVEY_TIME", it seems that the parameter "distAfterSource" has not any influence. It should not be the case, right? Or I do not understand this parameter...

For example:

treenode DP1 = node("DP1", model());
treenode DP2= node("DP2", model());
double distAfterSource = 4.5;
return conveyorinfo(DP1, CONV_INFO_ESTIMATE_CONVEY_TIME, distAfterSource, DP2);

Thanks for your help!

This is a bug. The function is not properly taking those offset parameters (distAfterSource and distAfterDest) into account in its calculations.

I'll add a note to the development list.

@David Besson

David,

First off, the first parameter in the conveyorinfo() command should be a reference to the conveyor, not a DP as in your model.

Attached is your model with the reference changed to the conveyor. Is this what you were looking for?
