Hello,
i would like to automatize Conveyor building via CAD Data.
Straight conveyor are working pretty well.
My CAD data for curved conveyor are like:
startpoint (1), endpoint (2) & mid of circle (3).
im using these commands
function_s(newConveyor, "dragStart", xKoordSt, yKoordSt, zKoordSt, activedocumentview());
function_s(newConveyor, "dragEnd", xKoordEn, yKoordEn, zKoordEn, activedocumentview());
how to change direction of conveor (green line)
Rather than using dragStart and dragEnd function_s commands, you can set the values of the curved conveyor directly, such as the code below.
A curved conveyor is specified in FlexSim via the location (mid of circle), start angle, sweep angle, and radius.
- Object dwg = model().find("FlexsimModelBackground");
- Table vertexLocations = getvarnode(dwg, "snapPoints").subnodes["Vertex Locations"];
- Table lines = getvarnode(dwg, "snapPoints").subnodes["Lines"];
- Table arcs = getvarnode(dwg, "snapPoints").subnodes["Arcs"];
- treenode LibraryCurvedConveyor = node("?CurvedConveyor", library());
- for(int j = 1; j <= arcs.numRows; j++)
- {
- int startIndex = arcs[j][1] + 1;
- double x1 = vertexLocations[startIndex][1];
- double y1 = vertexLocations[startIndex][2];
- double z1 = vertexLocations[startIndex][3];
- int endIndex = arcs[j][2] + 1;
- double x2 = vertexLocations[endIndex][1];
- double y2 = vertexLocations[endIndex][2];
- double z2 = vertexLocations[endIndex][3];
- int centerIndex = arcs[j][3] + 1;
- double x3 = vertexLocations[centerIndex][1];
- double y3 = vertexLocations[centerIndex][2];
- double z3 = vertexLocations[centerIndex][3];
- double StartAngle = Math.degrees(arcs[j][4]);
- double EndAngle = Math.degrees(arcs[j][5]);
- double SweepAngle = EndAngle - StartAngle;
- if (SweepAngle < 0) {
- SweepAngle += 360;
- }
- Conveyor curved_conveyor = createinstance(LibraryCurvedConveyor, model());
- curved_conveyor.setLocation(x3,y3,z3);
- double dx = x3 - x1;
- double dy = y3 - y1;
- double dz = z3 - z1;
- double radius = sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
- setvarnum(curved_conveyor, "rise", dz);
- setvarnum(curved_conveyor, "startAngle", StartAngle);
- setvarnum(curved_conveyor, "sweepAngle", SweepAngle);
- setvarnum(curved_conveyor, "radius", radius);
- function_s(curved_conveyor,"finalizeSpatialChanges");
- }
