i am trying to determine how to create a Exhibition Stall model to simulate people flow, and i am wondering the best way to do this. i'm not sure whether my approach is right?
i started modeling with my limited knowledge and attached the first-cut project file layout-2.fsm ,
i couldn't make distance between flow item to avoid people collision. so if anyone had any suggestions of how i might go about doing so, i'd certainly appreciate !
You have used the right keywords. Please look for those to find answers already posted. The keywords are "people flow", "collision" "collision detection". If you have further questions, then you ask again. And it is ok to ask something like: how to get or insert a collision member of an operator flowitem, or how to identify operators in an area near to another operator,...
Thanks Jörg Vogel, i couldn't find any Flexsim Project files other than Airport Security check simulation. what i am trying to simulate is "a large number of people gathered together in an Exhibition Ground".
As you mentioned i have following questions!!
1. Without using Flow node, how to identify TE Flow item in an area near to another and avoid touching together ?
2. Is std collision detection method is advisable for a large crowd (3000+ TE as Flow item) ?
You don't want to use the standard collision detection for a large crowd. The standard collision detection checks each member against each other member every interval.
@Ameen MS, 17.2 includes an option on the AStar Navigator use collision avoidance. The People module, which you can try in the recently released 18.0 beta provides more animations and visuals for People-based models like this.
