Move Object
Overview and Key Concepts
The Move Object activity moves an object or multiple objects to another place in a
simulation model. When the object moves it will be instantaneous, meaning that it will
instantly appear in its new location. It functions the same as calling the
moveobject() command.
Connectors
The Move Object activity only allows one connector out. See Adding and Connecting Activities for more information.
