Simulation
The Simulation section provides comprehensive tools for validating robot programs before actual execution. This critical step ensures safe, efficient, and error-free operations.
Simulation Components
Layup Simulation
Visualize and animate the complete layup process with frame-by-frame control.
Analysis Settings
Configure and run detailed analysis of robot movements, checking limits and detecting issues.
Collision Detection
Set up and monitor collision detection between robot components and workspace elements.
Simulation Workflow
- Load Program: Import generated robot program
- Configure Settings: Set analysis parameters
- Run Simulation: Execute virtual layup
- Analyze Results: Review detected issues
- Iterate: Modify and re-simulate as needed
Benefits of Simulation
- Safety: Identify collisions before they occur
- Optimization: Improve cycle times and paths
- Validation: Verify program correctness
- Training: Learn without risk to equipment
- Documentation: Record process for review
Key Metrics to Monitor
- Joint limit violations
- Collision occurrences
- Path deviations
- Cycle times
- Reach limitations
- Singularity conditions
