Change speed variables on created objects.

Is there a way to change objects' speeds after created in process flow?

I tried a custom code, but no success.

double maxSpeed = getvarnum(item, "maxspeed");
maxSpeed = 2;

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.2.2

In your example, maxSpeed is just a local variable, so setting it won't affect the object. You need to use the setvarnum command or set the value of the variable node:

setvarnum(item, "maxspeed", 2);
getvarnode(item, "maxspeed").value = 2;
