5. Simulation of Work Program
Figure 5.1 Simulation menu
The Simulation Menu is used to execute a simulation of the work program written in ROBCAD for the purpose of checking interference or measuring cycle time.
[Figure 5.1] is the screen that is shown when the [Simulation] button of OLP is clicked. For simulation to be possible, 『Controller』 and『Program』must be selected, as in Figure 5.1.
When the [Init simulation] button is clicked, the simulation will be initialized. This means that the simulation will be returned to its initial state, so that it can be processed from the first step.
When the [Run] button is clicked, set program or simulation 1 cycle on path will be executed in the graphics window.
When the [Freeze] button is clicked, the simulation will be paused. When the [Run] button is clicked while the simulation is paused, the simulation will resume from the state in which it was paused. Use the [Init simulation] button if you want to restart the simulation from the first step.
By clicking the [Step] button, you can execute 1 step of the simulation only.
