I am working on a simulation using both the 3D model and Process Flow. At some point, my PF window desapeared and the names of the PF activities became part of the 3D model - as can be seen in the picture. It happened on Flexsim 16.2.2 and also 17.0.3. I am wondering if this bug has already happened to someone and if I can recover my simulation.
Thanks.
@Karina Kawka, that is very odd. I have never seen that error, though its possible that someone else here has. Hopefully they will chime in.
In the mean time, is it possible for you to share the model? You could edit your question to post it to this public question, or if it has confidential information, you could start a new private question that only our support staff will be able to access.
Thanks!
Somehow you moved your ProcessFlow under Op3.
You probably have a load activity with a bad path.
I'll see if I can find what you are doing but you might be able to find it faster.
Attached is a model where I moved the ProcessFlow back into the tools folder.
I couldn't figure out the exact reason that was making the Op3 (an operator) to 'pick' the entire PF for itself everytime I ran the model. But yes, the problem was in a small sequence of load/unload activities, so I deleted them and now used another strategy for transportation, less PF-controlled. @Jacob Gillespie, thank you so much for you help.
The problem was you were using current.
In ProcessFlow activites current refers to the ProcessFlow.
You probably want something like Label: item.
In a General Process Flow, current refers to the Process Flow object. In a Fixed Resource or Task Executer Process Flow, current refers to the FR or TE object. In a Sub Flow, current depends on what created the instance of the Sub Flow (could be a general process flow, a 3D object, an activity or a token).
