Common Services for Manufacturing Simulation Apps

3D Simulation is an intuitive simulation environment that allows you to author, execute, and analyze simulations in 3D. Depending on your licensing, you may also have access to Sequencing, Resource Layout and Definition, and 3D Animation. Sequencing offers a simple way to program resources such as robots, humans, or tool devices, and synchronize them at the organizational level. Resource Layout and Definition enables you to define and arrange resources within a plant. With 3D Animation, you can add simulation-specific activities to your simulations and capture your simulations in movies, replays, or still images.

What's New

3D Simulation is not a discrete app; it is an environment within other apps. Its capabilities include:

  • Authoring, executing, and analyzing simulations in 3D.3D Simulation Panel Features
  • Authoring and validating simulations of manufacturing scenarios that impact the design model
  • Using an environment optimized for computation-intensive operations performed during a manufacturing simulation.

3D Simulation's most significant feature is a set panels that enable users of a wide variety of applications to simulate aspects of their manufacturing processes and tasks.

Although you can use the product, manufactured item, process, and resource (PPR) context in 3D Simulation, the environment's full capabilities are on display when you create a simulation in the model, scenario, and results (MSR) context.
