How to reference object inside current object

Hi,

I'm currently developing a TaskExecutor Process flow, in which the linked taskexecutor has other objects within it in the model tree. If I wanted to reference those objects, how would I go about doing that through current instead of Model.find? Would it just be as simple as Model.find("current/Processor") instead of Model.find("TaskExecutor/Processor")? Thank you for your help!

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.0

process flow taskexecutor model tree process flow resources task executor process flow

@Drake M

myTaskExecuter.subnodes[1] will get you the first object inside of the TaskExecuter.

myTaskExecuter.subnodes.length will get you the number of objects inside of the TaskExecuter.

If current is the TaskExecuter then you can just use current.subnodes[1] for the first object.

Also, if you want to reference them by name, just start from current instead of Model:

current.find("/Processor")
