Action Points is what triggers an event in a model built in Discrete Events mode. They are similar to sensors in Physics mode.
When you build a model in Discrete Events mode, you build it as a Path the loads will follow, which is a collection of Tracks. If you then want to have a certain event happen somewhere along the Path, you insert an Action Point on the desired Track.
Adding an Action Point is done by right clicking on your Track, or Conveyor, and choosing ‘Insert Action Point’:
The Action Point shows up as a small X in the middle of your Track.
By clicking the Action Point, the properties window shows the available properties that can be changed.
Behaviors related to the Action Point include:
- Changing the Action Point’s name.
- Behavior when a Load reaches the point (Stop Mode – dropdown menu).
- Default Destination – modifiable input string, which should be the Name of the destination Action Point.
- This property can be used to send a Load from a specific Action Point to another specified Action Point.
- Position on the Track/Route (Distance – which means millimeter away from the Track/Route’s start, as in the red arrow).
