Smooth transition between conveyor and AGV

Hi,

I've a model in which the AGV picks the item from conveyor_1 and puts it in conveyor_2. Currently, the item jumps from the conveyor to the AGV, but I would like to show a smooth transition to imitate the real-time scenario. Attached is the sample model, and a video to show the expected transition. Please suggest a solution to achieve it.

Conveyor to AGV transfer

Thanks,

Ramya

@Ramya N, you try to customize the visual behavior of objects. This is possible. But you have to do this on your own. There are some methods to achieve this. I have give you the keywords in my answer. But is it really important for your simulation results that the animation looks perfectly realistic? If you collect the statistical data, you will probably set a high run speed and then you won't see nothing from this animation at all. If you need the correct transfer time in your data, you add a load time to the AGV.

You can add an animation or a kinematic. Both are described in the manual. Please ask questions again, if there are problems.
