@Youssef EM

Task Executers in FlexSim are automatic vehicles, so they do not require an operator to push them. Is there a reason you want the operator to push the task executer?

To use the task executor normally, connect the center ports of the queue and task executer

and then click the Use Transport in the Queue's properties

Hi Parker, thanks for your reply. In my model, I want the operator to use a trolley (transpallet) to move objects. The way I see that, is to use an operator and a task executer. I'm wondering if there is a simple way to accomplish that without using a PF.

@Youssef EM

There is a way to do this without PF, but it's not simple. You would need to build a custom task sequence in the Use Transport property of the queue. Here is the reference to creating task sequences:

Perhaps you find it in the people module. Classic 3D hasn’t any objects that behaves as a trolley. You can move such things into an operator as a subnode or you can build coordinated task sequences where two taskexecuters are synchronized to do simultaneously similar tasks. But what you are looking for is a special behavior first introduced in FlexSim Healthcare and is now part of the people module.

@Youssef EM

This can be done with this code in the Use Transport field of the Queue you are loading from

and this code in an On Load Trigger of the Operator

You also need a pointer label on the Operator referencing the Task Executer
