Duplicate objects (multiprocessor, processor, operator) in code?

Is there a quick way in code to duplicate the existing 3d object and its settings?

I have a default multiprocessor defined that I like to duplicate and relocate during model reset.

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.2

flexsim 20.1.2 custom code multiprocessor duplicate

You can use the createcopy() command. For example:

Object defaultMultiProcessor = Model.find("MultiProcessor1");
Object newObject = createcopy(defaultMultiProcessor, model());
newObject.location = Vec3(5, 5, 0);

Thanks for the reply. Does that copy the object and all of its settings?

@Hai L2 Yes, it duplicates the object.

That works with fixed resources and simple flow items, but any object that inherits coupling nodes get problems with a simple copy command. Module objects like AGV paths, conveyors, some taskexecuters and people module aren’t made for this easy method.

Do you mean the links between objects or other assignments are not copied?
