In previous release, to find collisions in Robot Simulation we had to define a probe and in the scenario use this Robot task with Probe to list collisions. This was time consuming and not user friendly.

Since 20X GA , we have a new functionality ( thanks to R+D team) – Fault Monitor

Users now will be able to :

• Monitor all the issues/faults (collision, over-travel, speed/acceleration limits etc.) related to a resource that occur during a simulation run
• Diagnose and detect the issues causing the fault ( Narrow down to issue quickly)
• Record simulation log files in xml  detailing all the faults that occurred during  sim run

This function will allow users to define a fault monitor on a specific resource.

Then track this resource for any faults that may occur during a simulation run and display fault information that occurred at various times during the simulation.

Users can jump to the time when a specific fault was detected and investigate the cause(s) of the fault and resolve any issues.

Finally, users can export the detected faults to an external file.

Command explained : 

Using the contextual menu on each fault result ,user can either re-frame on the issue to narrow down the problem area or "edit Cause",which will open the Robot task in Teach Mode.

Note : Users may see a performance impact when running a simulation with fault monitoring turned on depending on number of fault monitiring resources selected ,each selected  resource will be analyzed for faults at each simulation step

Encourage you to incorporate this new  function in your demonstrations and use cases.
