Verification Section

The Verification section provides commands for creating a manufacturing scenario, creating probes, generating results, and managing inconsistent links.

The commands listed below are available in both Simulation and PPR Contexts unless stated otherwise.

New Manufacturing Scenario
Creates the combination of states, excitations, probes, and content that you create to test different aspects of a manufacturing plan.
Click New Manufacturing Scenario. In the Scenario dialog box, select the simulation objects you want to use in the scenario. In the Compass, click Play to see the scenario's simulation.
See Creating a Manufacturing Scenario.
Note: This command is not available in a PPR Context.
Measure Probe
Measures the distance between one selected point in the content and another. This measurement can be saved with the scenario.
Click Measure Probe and select the items for measurement. Add the probe to a scenario.
See Defining a Measure Between Probe.
Note: This command is not available in a PPR Context.
Interference Probe
Determines whether two objects clash or cross too close to a predetermined buffer.
Click Interference Probe, and modify default items in the dialog box. Add the probe to a scenario and run it.
See Defining an Interference Probe.
Note: This command is not available in a PPR Context.
Section Probe
Sections the content at specified points.
Select the content. Click Section Probe and modify the size and orientation of the section plane. You can attach the resulting section to the content.
See Creating a Section Probe.
Note: This command is not available in a PPR Context.
Camera Viewer Probe
Enables you to set a camera on objects in your content so that you can see aspects of your simulation from that viewpoint.
Click Camera Viewer Probe. Enable camera mounting in the viewer, select the part from which you want to see the action, then select Mount to Selection in the Viewer. You can zoom in and out to points of interest.
See Creating a Camera Viewer Probe.
Data Readout Probe
Configures the data readout probe
Click Data Readout Probe, then select a resource that you want data about. Configure the data readout panel so you can monitor the resource while it is being simulated.
See Creating a Data Readout Probe.
Motion Trace Probe
In the work area, creates a graphic 3D record of the movements of a robot or other device.
Click Motion Trace Probe and select an object whose motion you want to see. Run a scenario and the motion trace appears.
See Creating a Motion Trace Probe.
Simulate and Generate Results
Simulate and generate results from your simulation. Results are saved a dedicated panel.
In the 3D Simulation panel, click Scenario, right-click on the scenario thumbnail you want to simulate, and select Simulate and Generate Results. The results appear in the Results panel.
See Generating Scenario Results.
Note: This command is not available in a PPR Context.
Link management
Displays and repairs inconsistent links for the selected object.
  • Select a track to view the Links Management panel.
  • Delete or automatically reconnect any inconsistent links as required using the contextual menu.
See Managing Inconsistent Links on Tracks.
Snap
Snaps two resources or two products.
A context toolbar provides a number of commands to help you snap the two objects.
For more information, see Plant Layout Design User's Guide: Smart Snapping Resources: Snapping Products or Resources.
Manufacturing Scenario Update Management
Checks and updates manufacturing scenarios and tracks that are out-of-date following design changes to the moving objects.
See Updating a Manufacturing Scenario.


Issue Management
Lets you create and assign issues, and view existing ones directly from the application.
Select an object from the tree or from the 3D view.
See Reporting Issues.
