With a large portfolio of major automotive OEMs, DASSAULT SYSTEMES  provides and continue to enrich a full suite of 3DEXPERIENCE roles which allows to validate and optimize the Body In white line including Planning, Robotics simulation and validation in a Virtual Factory context.

Some standard functionalities : 

• Management of the Geo/Respot fastener through an standard attribute which is  displayed in the assistants and the analyze panel results and used in the planning command as a criteria for automatic balancing.
• Smart automatic fastener balancing command to helps the user to become more productive.
• Capability to run the fastener analysis with the different weld gun opening position (open, close, ...) and take into account the tips abrasion.
• "Weld un-assign" and "Rejected weld" command to manage manually the fastener balancing.
• All the robotics process can be addressed  : Robot on rail, parts positionner, fixed TCP, robot handing in front tof the welding robot, combination of these process, ...

I let you see this video which shows some capabilities of fastener planning.

All these capabilities are now available.
