How can I put two different speeds in one crane?

The idea is to put two different speeds one when you have a load and the other when you are not loading anything

FlexSim 20.2.0

Hi @Mayra Itzel RR,

I think you are looking for the "On Load" and "On Unload" triggers for the crane. In this example model,

I added the following line to the "On Load" trigger: Model.find("Crane1>variables/cranespeeds/Gantry/1").value = 0.5

And the following to the "On Unload" trigger: Model.find("Crane1>variables/cranespeeds/Gantry/1").value = 200.

This seems to work pretty well.

@mayra_itzel.rr you can set them to whatever speeds you would like. One way to do that would be to set a label on the crane called craneSpeed, then reference that label when you set the speed:

Model.find("Crane1>variables/cranespeeds/Gantry/1").value = current.craneSpeed

You can have 2 speeds on the crane using this method.
