Using & Integrating Tecnomatix Process Simulate
Process Simulate facilitates the design and validation of manufacturing processes in a 3D dynamic environment. Process Simulate is fully integrated with the manufacturing backbone, thus enabling manufacturing engineers to re-use, author and validate manufacturing processes. Process Simulate provides an advanced 3D environment capable of emulating realistic behavior of manufacturing processes and optimization of cycle times and process sequence. Process Simulate facilitates simulation of assembly processes, human operations and mechanical procedures of tools, devices and robots. Process Simulate is highly scalable, providing various engineering disciplines with the data and toolset to examine detailed processes and verify them in different phases and perspectives. Process Simulate leverages 3D scanning to accurately and quickly model the manufacturing environment, which improves the value of the simulation and efficiently fast tracks the modeling process.
