@Vineeth N The problem is that you have to start the animation somewhere. You can do this with code using the Animation class, or you can use process flow. I have added a process flow example.movingrack.fsm

@Vineeth N

The moving rack is placed as an object in the drawsurrogate node in the tree. So I adapted the process flow a bit such that the crane travels to and drop into this object. I also used the resources and require resource to make sure the movements happen 1 after the othermovingrack2.fsm

Thank you sir you were great, Sir can you please explain me how did you did you make moving rack separate from the structure and used the same. I tried doing like you did but was not successful.

And one more doubt sir in my new model I have introduced new racks in my model. But only one rack is moving in my model can you tell me where I am going wrong. I have attached the model please find the same. moving-rack-with-crane.fsm

@Vineeth N

I think you should put some time in studying process flow because there is an activity there called "Run animation" That activity makes the movement of the rack. So I attached a model where I have a second "Run animation" to show how to move the second rack.
