Hello,
Could you explain what this command does, and when may be used?
cpallocate?
FlexSim 18.2.2
I've never personally needed to use this function, but as you probably know, control points can be allocated to AGVs for a number of purposes:
- A point where AGVs pick up and/or drop off flow items.
- A stopping point on the network where AGVs wait to enter an area or section of a path.
- A decision point on the network where the AGV looks for work to do.
- A decision point on the network where an AGV is dispatched to some other point on the network, dependent on network state/availability.
Maybe @jordan.johnson or @phil.bobo would have more to add.
FlexSim is flexible. The cpalloc() command is available in case someone wanted to use it to develop custom logic for allocating control points instead of using the built-in options and features.
If you don't understand why you would want to dynamically allocate a control point with a command, then you should probably not be using that command.
I would suggest using Control Areas and the AGV Process Flow template instead.
Thanks for your answer.
So in the other hand, can the built-in allocation be disabled and use only cpallocate() by myself?
