How is it possible to scale the charging time of an AGV?

With the AGV Process Flow it is only possible to tell by which percentage the AGVs need to load and when they resume. How can I tell how long the agvs charge during the simulation?

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.1.2

@Charmaine R

Look at the AGV network properties (right click on any object part of the AGV network or go to Toolbox -> AGV network). At the bottom you find the recharge speed:

But to calculate the charging time with the Recharge-information I also need which capacity the agv is loading... the battery resume threshold only defines when the agv may resume, right? so i don't have the capacity is loading...

The battery capacity is on the same row

sure! but i defined, with the battery resume threshold that the agv gets back to work when it has charged 80 percent. with more than one vehicle I don't know on which battery level the agv is, when it gets back to work.

You can read the current battery level using

AGV("The_AGV_In_Question).batteryLevel
