Setup Section

The Setup section of the action bar provides commands for inserting existing products or resources, inserting manikins, synchronizing data with planning, and creating and editing simulation states.

This page discusses:



Existing Product or Resource...
See Flyout for Inserting Resources.


New Manikin

Filter PPR Content
Filters PPR content based on predefined configurations.
The PPR Configuration Filtering panel lets you filter content in root products, items, systems, and resources that have predefined configurations.


Synchronize Data with Planning
Imports planning data to a manufacturing cell.
See NC Machining: NC Machining Apps Common Services User's Guide: Using the Setup Section Commands: Synchronizing with Planning Data.
Define product position with worker
See Flyout for Positions.
Generate collision free path for worker
See Flyout for Paths.


New Simulation State

Duplicate Resource
Creates new instances with individual references for the selected worker, robot, machine, buffer, or conveyor resource.
In the Duplicate Resource panel that displays, set the Duplication Preferences:
  • Item Count: number of items to be created
  • Item Offset: offset between the created instances along the selected axis' direction.
Generate Path System
