Some Operators do not walk

Hi,

attached a small example model. As you can see some of the Persons are not walking after we changed the "gender" shape.

Do you have an idea why?

flughafen-test-1.fsm

FlexSim 18.2.3
task executer flowitem

The technical reason why this is happening is complicated, and it involves a lot of details about how the animation system works that is hidden from the user.

This model just happens to partially work because of how similar the structure is between the animation data of those two shapes (male and female). You are changing the shape index to draw the other shape, but the animation info is still the original shape's info.

I've just made a change for the next 19.0 bugfix release so that this particular case works, but I would suggest building your model differently: Create male and female person flowitems and create one or the other instead of dynamically changing the shape index as the model runs.
