RACK & NETWORKNODES
 Model 4

Model 4 introduces the Rack and NetworkNode objects. You will have a chance to work
with route points, conveyors, advanced statistics, and global tables. With Model 4 you will
be introduced to the Experimenter, which allows you to do multiple runs and multiple
scenario analyses of your model. Model 4 will use the model from Model 3 as a starting
point. Make sure you have completed Model 1,2 and Model 3 before starting Model 4.
 Model 4

What You Will Learn

• How to use global tables to define routings

• How to set up a travel path network for a transporter
• How to create lines in a travel path network
• How to create a custom output report
• How to execute multiple runs of the model
 Model 4

In this Model you will be introduced to the Rack and NetworkNode objects as
well as Spline Points.
 Model 4

In model 4 the sink will be replaced with 3 racks that will be used to store the
completed flowitems prior to shipping. You will change the physical layout of
conveyors 1 and 3 to bend at their ends to that flowitems are conveyed closer to the
queue. Using a global table for reference, all type 1 flowitems will be sent to rack
2, all type 2 flowitems will be sent to rack 3, and all type 3 flowitems will be sent to
rack 1. Using the NetworkNode object, you will set up a path network for the fork
truck to use as it transports flowitems from the conveyor queue to the racks. You
will also set up a multiple run simulation using the Experimenter to show statistical
variance and calculate a confidence interval for key performance measures.

Model 5 Data
- Add curved sections to the first and third conveyors to convey flowitems closer to
the conveyor queue.
- Routing from conveyor queue to racks: Use a global table to specify the routing
for flowitems as follows:
• Type 1 to rack 2
• Type 2 to rack 3
• Type 3 to rack 1
- Set up a path network for the fork truck to travel on between the conveyor queue
and the racks. Set up a flypath for a fly-through model presentation.

Spline Control Points

Spline control points are used in FlexSim when laying out a travel path network.
FlexSim uses spline technology to give you a convenient method to add curves,
inclines, and declines to NetworkNode paths.
