After adding arc welding weaving in 2025xFD03, we are now adding multipath arc welding in R2026GA. VALUE :Simulate the actual weaving motion or multiple robot weld paths along a single contour performed by arc welding robots which is used for welding thick metals and for filling wide, flat joints. Allows to detect collision and get an accurate cycle time estimation. Allows to build the arc welding task in the Robotics Arc welding apps or from the Bead fastener in the design structure.

Is it possible to force the rotary table to recalculate its position in order to avoid a collision between the robot and the workpiece? The simulation detects collisions, but the positioner does not take collisions into account during its calculations. Tomasz

Let's continue this series of posts about what's new with the r2026xGA release. A major improvement is multiple smart tools to facilitate the I/O mapping between the 3DEXPERIENCE virtual twin and CATIA ControlBuild dedicated to control the 3D devices. Some users manage hundreds input and output signals, with different names and characteristics. While the benefit of virtual commissioning for significantly accelerating production start-up is undeniable, this mapping can be complex and tedious.

Hi, I created a crane using the “Define Crane System” command as a transfer tool. Can this crane be used as a resource pool for a Load activity? When I try to set it up, the crane successfully delivers the product. However, it’s supposed to perform a Load activity afterward and then continue with the next transfer from another resource. The issue is that the resource with the Load activity remains in a “Waiting for Resource” status until the end of the simulation. Do you have any idea what might

In the factory flow simulation, the material initially starts in the buffer and then moves to Machine 1 for processing. After the machining operation in Machine 1, the material flows to Machine 2 for the next stage of production. At the beginning of production, a cleaning operation is performed on Machine 1 before starting the first machining cycle. This cleaning activity is defined as a generic operation to ensure the machine is properly prepared for production. Once the initial cleaning is

1. Shift Definition and Reporting IssueI have defined three shifts in a single day, where the total simulation time runs from 0 seconds to 23:59:59 seconds. Shift 1: 0 sec to 8 hours Shift 2: 8 hours to 16 hours Shift 3: 16 hours to 24 hours (23:59:59) During all shifts, I have defined a break in the middle, with break behavior = Pause. Shift end behavior is set to Continue until the operation ends, and this setting is the same for all three shifts. Problem FacingWhen I run the simulation only

When selecting a Robot Task in the Behavior tab of the Immersive Browser that you want to simulate, it is sometimes difficult to determine what is a Trajectory and what is a Robot Task. By following these simple steps, Trajectories and Robot Tasks are organized and displayed by type making it easy to select the desired State and Robot Task to simulate.

In my factory flow simulation, I have 4 machines and 3 operators. Machine 1 and Machine 4 are assigned to Operator 1, Machine 2 to Operator 2, and Machine 3 to Operator 3. During the first cycle, everything runs smoothly. But in the second cycle, Operator 1 is still busy operating Machine 1, so Machine 4 is waiting for the same operator, even though the other two operators are free. How can I make the simulation automatically assign one of the free operators to Machine 4 instead of waiting for

I'm happy to start a series of posts about what's new with the upcoming r2026xGA release. This represents a significant enhancement for arc welding. Users working on spot welding are using, since long time, even in DELMIA V5 an apps called “tool analysis”. This apps includes various commands for analyzing the welding gun accessibility on a robot, a station or on a complete line. It is also dedicated to balance the fasteners between the different robots. While the arc welding process has some

In my simulation, all three parts are loading correctly, but they move all at once instead of one after another (1 → 2 → 3 carrying). I’ve attached two pictures — the first one is from the reference video, and the second is from my system. Could someone please help me understand if there’s a specific setting or timing control to make the parts move in sequence rather than simultaneously?

Factory Flow ScenarioThe raw material starts at the input zone and flows to Machine 1. Machine 1 processes the material and sends the output to Machine 2. Machine 2 begins processing and converts the input material into two separate parts, named R1 and R2. After processing, Machine 2 sends the first output, R1, to Machine 3 for further processing. Machine 3 can process only one part at a time. Once Machine 3 completes the processing of R1 and sends it forward, it then receives the second output,

Hello. This is a tip for AGV delivering multi parts. This is an example scenario : There are two kinds of products, MP_Big and MP_Small. Because MP_Big is big, the AGV can pick up only 1 MP_Big at DZ1 and drop it off at DZ6. And, because MP_Small is small, the AGV can pick up 3 MP_Small at DZ2 and drop off one by one at DZ3, DZ4, and DZ5 cyclically. 1. For this scenario, first we need to set up Task selection mode = First Pending Task and Capacity = 3. But, with these settings, the AGV can

Hello good members of this community, In Delmia V5, there was a Simulation Activity Creation toolbar within which was a Create Move Activity function that allowed users to move a product or a resource between two or more points during a simulation playback. When this function was selected, the user was asked to select Products and/or Resources and with the Recorder toolbar, the user recorded positions of the selected objects with the compass (which is attached to the selected objects) A

Hi All, After executing a Robot Surface simulation I discovered that the Robot is moving slower when passing through the surface tags, which is revealed as an excess of painting on those areas, as can be seen on the picture below. Is this an expected behaviour or is there any way to avoid that? The Auxiliary Axis strategy for managing the track motion is a "Constant Offset" of 0mm. Should I remove the intermediate tags created along the surface? Thanks in advance Kind regards

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well! I have a situation where I’m working with two different products that need to go through transformation processes on two separate conveyors, each running at different speeds. These movements are carried out by mobile storages, which are responsible for moving the products between the decision zones where the transformations take place. My issue is that I need the mobile storage to alternately handle product A on conveyor A and product B on conveyor

Hello good members of this community, If at a Manufacturing Cell level I have a task within which robot and device tasks have been inserted into, is there a command in any of the Robot Simulation apps which shows a Gantt chart of the resources and their processing times. As an example I have a task "Cell Control Task" And within Cell Control Task, I have two robot tasks shown: For those familiar with Delmia V5, if one had process activities defined under a Station Activity, and each

When creating a kinematic mechanism (for example, robot rail, lift assistor, etc.) in the DELMIA Equipment Design ap, it is recommended to wait until the very last step to convert it to a Programmable Mechanical Resource. The reason why... once you define your Assembly as a Mechanical Resource, then there is no undo back to an Assembly. If you decide that you want to drive your Tool Equipment as an inverse kinematic mechanism, then now in R2025x FD04, you have the capability to convert a Tool

I have generated some paint profiles, however I cant find a way to edit them. In a tutorial video profiles can be accessed from a window in the tree. But I can not figure out how to make this appear for me. I am using 3dX R2023X Delmia Robot Surface Simulation. screenshot from tutorial Screenshot of my session

When I generate the factory flow statistics report for a particular machine, the actual input is 263, but in the report, it shows 23,000 products as input — which is 100 times higher. I think this issue is because the “Run = 100” option at the top of the report is multiplying the count. However, I don’t know how to change this value. I want the report to display the actual input data.

Hi community, I have two questions regarding to factory flow simulation. When I run the simulation, an additional path appears on the screen that the AGV is not supposed to use. How can I remove or hide this unwanted path ? The manufacturing product I placed in the Mobile Storage rack appears in an unrelated and empty area on the screen while being transported by the AGV along the pathway. How can I resolve this issue ?

I am currently setting up a factory simulation in 3DEXPERIENCE, but I’m experiencing issues with the operator paths. The problem is that the operator in the simulation ignores the walking paths I have created and instead walks straight through machines and equipment. So far, I have defined a walk path and created collision-free paths from the resource zones to junction points on the walking path. The walking paths are set up as Worker Path.

Here is the replay of our webinar of May 14 dedicated to DELMIA Robotics & DELMIA Ergonomics, which will enable you to enhance operational safety and efficiency. Many thanks to our speaker and expert @TD.

Hello community, I’m trying to define the weight of a product — both input weight and output weight — but I’m not able to apply the product weight.

Hello. This is a simple tip about the preference for Clash. The default Graphic Feedback Mode for Clash is Highlight. When there is a clash, the clashed parts are highlighted. But when I make simulation videos, I sometimes want to make the videos more colorful for visualization. If we change the preference to Color and check on ‘Tabular clash results display’, the clashed parts are colored as defined in Preference and we can check the clashed parts in Dynamic Clash Results window.

Hi Can we export the welding path’s shape on the robot as a 3D shape? Thanks

Hello. To use AGVs in Factory Flow Simulation, we normally use Route Group Definition to define Starting Zones & Target Zones. If you want to deliver each product to the fixed target zone, using product flows between AGV Decision Zones can be one of the solutions instead of Route Group Definition. Ex) Blue product : DZ1 → DZ2 Green product : DZ1 → DZ3 You can just define Product Flows between AGV Decision Zones and assign the AGV resource pool to each product flow. And set Route type

Hello. When we play the Factory Flow Simulation, we can sometimes meet the performance issue even though we set the Simulation Options like the below. At that time, we also need to check Operation mode of In-Zones. The default is Push mode. When we run the simulation with Push mode, we can see Products stacked on In-Zones. This means that more calculations for statistics is being processed for more products. If we change the Operation mode to Pull for In-Zones, products are created when

Hello. When you define a crane in Factory Flow Simulation, a crane system with very simple shapes is created.

Simulate in Robot Virtual Commissioning using the PnF Conveyor type defined by Equipment Design. When the sensor is triggered, transportation does not stop, but continues to move forward for a certain distance before stopping. What should I do in this situation? Two types of conveyors, Belt and Roller, were used with the same settings and no such errors occurred.

Hello members of this community, I wanted to check if it is permitted to create additional Mount Ports on robots to account for the thickness of tool adapters/couplers that attach to any robot mounted tool - be it grippers or welding guns, as shown below: We usually include this offset on the base port of the robot mounted tool itself so that it can be used with the default mount port. Will having an additional Mount port have any negative affect on the inverse kinematics in any way ?
