Robot Surface Sim - Excess of painting deposition on edges
Hi All, While using Robot surface simulation I just noticed that there's always a certain excess of painting on the edge of the part, due to the deceleration on Robot's movement when reaching the final tag on every stroke (which is exactly on part's edge), and going through the retract/approach path, even though the brush is OFF. When slowing down the animation it can be clearly seen that due to the deceleration of the robot the painting gun stays longer over that area on the edge when moving

Hello Community, In the factory flow scenario created in the R2023xFD02 OOTB environment, the conveyor does not process any product flow. In contrast, when the same scenario is created and executed in the R2024x OOTB environment, the conveyor processes product flow correctly. How can I fix the issue of the conveyor not processing product flow in the R2023xFD02 OOTB ?
How to use Fault Monitor Profiles
The Fault Monitor user interface lets us define and centrally manage fault profiles to speed up setup and make monitoring more efficient. By using profiles, each user or team can quickly switch between preferred configurations instead of recreating filters and options every time. With the dedicated Me/Preferences section in Fault Monitor, it is possible to: Create different fault profiles for specific roles, products, cells, or shifts. Using fault Monitor profiles helps: Reduce repetitive
How to Manage Elements Across Multiple Collaborative Spaces in 3DEXPERIENCE
When working with multiple collaborative spaces in 3DEXPERIENCE, elements can become scattered across different spaces, making them invisible to users who only have access to one space. This is time-consuming to manage when onboarding new users who need to see all elements. Quick Method to Identify, Select and Move Elements Business Intelligence Essentials provides the fastest way to identify elements in different collaborative spaces: Open your assembly in the active collaborative space Go to
How to Validate Manual Welding Tools and Ergonomics in Delmia​
Some customers still perform a lot of welding manually, but Delmia Robotics tools combined with Ergonomics can make this far more structured and efficient. In this workflow, we start from a process where all fasteners to be welded are already defined, automatically generate the weld list, then launch a tool search scenario to test multiple weld guns at once. Each gun is rotated 360° around every fastener with collision checks, and the results appear in a feasibility table: green for reachable,
How to Bulk Hide Axis Systems, Points, and Reference Elements Using the Find Command
When working with production high-end datasets or preparing big demos, visibility clutter from axis systems, 3D tags, points, and planes can impact both visual clarity and performance. While the View Modes panel and filter options provide quick hiding methods, hiding these elements directly from the tree in Edit mode delivers optimal performance with high-end datasets. Instead of manually selecting and hiding elements one by one, use the Find command (Ctrl+F) to select all unwanted elements
E-Kanban
I can't select an activity when I am creating a Kanban for the production. Can somebody help me with this?
Decision Zone
I am trying to recreate this simulation developed in Robot Simulation within Factory Flow Simulation. However, I am facing significant difficulties in associating the product assembly (which is located in the assembly cell) with the conveyor’s Decision Zone, since I am unable to integrate the movement of the pneumatic arm (which removes the part from the conveyor and subsequently places another product on it) with any type of activity (such as transform activity, load, or unload). Could you

A simple method to handle the overall structure of the cylinder in a 3D shape
Sometimes the device data we receive is not particularly good, especially for devices with motion movements and mechanisms, where the moving and fixed parts may be in the same 3D shape. At this point, we need to do some processing. Of course, if the data is large or the quantity is large, we can use composer. But if it's some simple structures, we can also manually do some things. But I'm sorry, the video below is a recording I showed to a customer who was using a Chinese interface at the time.
