Animation happening continuously during the run of simulation

Hello, I have a doubt my animation is happening continuously even after a certain task is completed.

Like my scissor lift is going up and down during transporting the flow item. I don't want that to happen.

Please suggest what should be done.rack3-scissorlift.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.1.0

animation

@Vineeth N

I found two problems in your model that were causing the animations to repeat:

1. Animation1 was set to Travel-Distance Based. This causes your animation to continue until the object has traveled a certain distance. You want it set to Time Based like so:

This way, after the animation has finished its set time it will not continue repeating itself.

2. Animation2 was set to "Repeat After Time Once Ended". This causes the animation to repeat after the indicated time, which you had set to 0:

Animation2 will repeat forever if it is set like this. Instead, you could set it either to "No Repeat" or "Default To Animation", since the default for Animation2 is no repetition.

You may also want to check the "Wait Until Complete" boxes in the animation activities if you want to have the animations finish before TaskExecuter1 does anything else.
