hello
In my model,I want to make some betterment of the forklift operation action like below:
First,when a forklift unload a item on conveyor ,the loaded forklift align with the conveyor's convey direction.
Second,the forklift put the item on the conveyor,then it reverse some distance straightly to make some clearance between the conveyor and the fork.
last the forklift turn to the other place.
how could i acheive this? You can refer the graph below
thank you in advance.
@wang W2,
You can add kinematics that will give you more flexibility on the visual behavior of 3D objects. These things are important for aesthetics, but they probably won't affect the model outcomes. So, I suggest considering whether it's worth going through the trouble of adding kinematics just for the visual aspect of it.
The kinematics I added were a simple travel in the X direction that make it appear like the Transporter is backing up. The Network Nodes help the Transporter approach the conveyor at the right angle.
Here's a model that achieves what you're describing. Hopefully it helps.
@wang W2 You can also use the AGV network to let the forklift drive over it. That way you can control exactly how it moves.
It could also work with the nodes network but that takes a bit more trial and error before it works.
