Define distance between different areas in Anylogic

Question

I have an Anylogic model where there are different storage areas (using Pallet racks) and waiting areas defined using rectangles. I want define distance between all these areas. Is there any way to do so in Analogic? Perhaps, by defining 1 small square in the model equals x meters or so.

Answer 1

if you want the distance in pixels between 2 areas you can do this:

double distInPixels=node1.getCenter().distance(node2.getCenter());

if you want the distance in meters, you can use the scale object as follows

double distInMeters=scale.toLengthUnits(distInPixels,METER);

Check the help documentation for distance units if you don't like meters.

the scale allows you to change pixels to meters:
