How can I have multiple networks for AGVs?

I have separate paths going around my plant floor and I need one to have loads attach as trailers and the other attach loads on the deck of the AGV. I only see the option to change this in the network options, how can I assign the paths to different networks or is there another way to accomplish this?

@Cody F

I don't know of a way to create multiple AGV networks, but one solution to your problem would be to create another AGV type in Network Properties:

You can then set the first type ("DefaultAGV") to not attach loads as trailer, and set the second type ("AGVType2") to attach loads as trailer. You can also change the speed of either AGV type.

You can then change the AGV types by selecting each AGV individually and changing their type from Quick Properties:

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

When you create a Process Flow for an AGV you can create specific instances for each (or different) AGV's by attaching the different AGV's to their assigned Process. This is also shown in the tutorials for AGV, that you can find in the User Manual by clicking Help above in FlexSim. If this doesn't answer your question you can post your model and we can try to help you with it.

I have multiple process flows for my model to run the different processes. The problem I am having is how to attach loads. I need the yellow outlined path loops to have the different settings and I'll be adding another type of AGV that might require different speed values. I tried making another network type but I can't figure out how to put the selected paths into a different network.
