The AGVNetwork setting is "Recharge(A) xxx". It seems linear charging. However in life, it is nonlinear.
May I make it nonlinear according to the battery level?
The battery charging rate is constant over the time, that is the standard assumption of most features in FlexSim. You can change this by your own source code. There are different approaches. You can change the charging level value if the AGV is leaving the charging station. You can update the level in a constant time interval, then you use a self repeating delayed message loop to achieve this. The delay time is responsible of the accuracy of your model in comparison to "in life".
But be aware of this, as better the model represents the reality, the model runs slower or you need a faster computer.
One more question. How to stop the TE to prevent it from leaving the charging area before it reaches a target battery level ?
