Robot Simulation provides all the tools required to perform robotic feasibility studies and programming in an environment where product data and manufacturing resources can be integrated into a single 3D model. This model performs the basis for the development of robotic processes. Robot Simulation allow you to test for robot reach and access in a complex manufacturing workcell. It provides tools for the development of robot programs and facilities to test those programs while checking for interferences. The output of Robot Simulation is workcell models that are ready for the next step: development of a complete manufacturing simulation with synchronization of all resources. These models can consist of a combination of multiCAD product models, legacy DELMIA D5 devices, and general CATIA resource models. Robot Simulation interacts with Plant Layout Design so that users can either re-use the plant model or modify it. Robot tasks and tag definitions for robot motion are integral to Robot Simulation. Users can create tags and add them to tasks or can create tags in free space for clearance moves. Robot Simulation provides interactive jogging and robot teaching capabilities to develop and test robot tasks. These tasks can be simulated, one at a time. In addition to the basic setup commands, Robot Simulation contains analysis tools. These tools add the following capabilities:
The Robot Simulation app supports design range management. When you create new content, you must specify the associated design range. Normal range is the default option and is sufficient in the majority of cases. For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps: Introducing Design Range Management. | |||||||||
