My AGV become very slow when I add a cad into Flexsim

All the fixed resources become so tiny, such as source, processer. Besides AGV become tiny. And it is very slow while adding cad into flexsim. Is there any way to solve the problem?

How large is your cad file? There is a manual chapter to import cad data into a model. And it says, import only size optimized data in models.

I had import 4 cad into my model, and it is 74 kb, 138 kb, 122 kb and 149kb.(Do you mean this?)

Yes, I mean this. The sizes seams to be ok. That shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't duplicate them 100 or 1000 times in your model.

Are you allowed to share your model or another model, where the same problem occurs? Then it would be nice, if you attach the file in a comment or in your question.

"Fixed resources become so tiny" - this sounds like you need to scale the CAD files when you import them (or via properties) - usually this is because the CAD units (eg. 1unit =1 millimetre) don't match FlexSim's (default 1 unit= 1 metre).

"very slow while adding cad" - this sounds like the import process is slow. But if you mean the AGV is now slow - then it could be instead that the distance is now too big (due to CAD being too large), which can be fixed by scaling.
