Help with Moving Objects

Hi,

I'm new in flexsim and maybe this will be easy for you guys.

I have a simple project, and i want to simulate a waiting room.

My problem is: How can i see in flexsim a person moving from "waiting room" to "attention area" ??

I have Flexsim 7.3

Thanks in advance

Hi, Gonzalo.

Firstly, you should change the flowitem class of source to TaskExecuterFlowitem which have walking animation. Then, you should check the Use Transport of Flow Tab in WaitingRoom and select "Task Executer as Flowitem" which can make the item move from WaitingRoom to AttentionArea by itself.

You can do the same 2nd step to AttentionArea or Source3, if you want item go through all object all by itself.

Here is the modified model:

In my case this doesn't work. The TaskSequence doesn't allow the object to move from the Queue to the Processor. In Process flow you can see the tokens getting stuck at 'Travel'. Any straightforward solution for this?

Thanks in advance,

Jarek

Sorry, I don't quite know about ProcessFlow module. Maybe @Jeff Nordgren can help you.

Gonzalo,

Same solution as Jing only one step further. Added "walking" to all of the objects. So I added "Task Executer as Flowitem" to all the objects Use Transport field.
