FlexSim
FlexSim supports discrete-event simulation and 3D visualisation of operational systems.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Build a process-flow model
Use the selected part, stock, machine or cell layout. In the intended FlexSim preview, build a process-flow model; the visible result is a process setup with work coordinates, resources and target geometry visible. Review orientation, reach, tooling and fixture assumptions before accepting or exporting it.
Run resource scenarios
Start from the chosen operations, tools or robot tasks. In the intended FlexSim preview, run resource scenarios; the visible result is a generated path or production sequence over the same setup. Review clearance, collisions, limits, feeds and operation order before accepting or exporting it.
Compare throughput and waiting
Begin with the simulated material removal, robot motion or process results. In the intended FlexSim preview, compare throughput and waiting; the visible result is a verification view with remaining stock, reach or cycle data exposed. Review collisions, code target, cycle time and safe human approval before accepting or exporting it.
