The basics are properties Object.location, Object.size and method Object.getLocation of the Object class.

For example:

Object rack1 = Model.find("Rack1");
Object rack2 = Model.find("Rack2");
 
rack2.location.x = rack1.location.x + 3;

Thank you, @Jörg Vogel

I'm thinking of creating an AutoCAD model and inserting it in the flexsim model so it can be faster and more convinient to place all the measurements. Do you think this is a good idea?

@el C Many of our users to that so their models can be more accurate. It does take a little bit of time to get properly sized though, and make sure when you start the model, you start it in the measurement units you made the CAD model in.
