How to update and read kinematics in FlexSim 2017?

In the attached model I have initiated a kinematic On Reset of the Source.

In its OnDraw trigger I update the kinematic but it doesn't work.

In a script I used the getkinematics too but works neither.

Maybe something changed in FlexSim 2017?update-kinematics.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.0.0

There shouldn't be anything broken between the versions. I noticed one thing in your Custom Draw Code. Instead of current.kin, which is a reference to the value of the label, you need to say current.labels["kin"] to reference the label treenode. There may be a some other things, have you gone through the Kinematics tutorial to check and see if you've done everything the same?

Thanks, I'm new to the dot notation.

Using the current.labels["kin"] the getkinematics command works but I'm still not able to use the updatekinematics one.

Hi Sam,

The user manual tutorial method applied to marco's model is also not working.

So I just checked with the developers. It looks like there could be some kind of bug with the updatekinematics in 2017. They're looking into it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
