What is the Best Tool for Simulation ?

[iven5880]

Hello Friends,

I am working on a project and need to develop a simulated version of the workcell I am trying to implement.

This simulation is mainly for demonstration purposes but it has to be good because these managers are hard to convince.
I want to know which software gives the best simulation for the least steep learning curve (I have not done any simulation before).

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks.

What type of robotarm you want to use?

[iven5880]

It will have to be a six axis robot arm.
It will be used for picking pieces off a converyor for testing.

no simulation software is simple to use if trying to teach yourself from scratch with no experience of other simulation software.

the other factor is that most industry simulation software is very expensive.

if it doesnt matter what robot you are using in the simulation i would suggest robotstudio from abb as this has a free evaluation period (30 days),

[rzapo]

you can use also MotoVisual. we will have a trial period for use

Thanks RZapo and Simspec,
I think I'll take a look at both and see which I find easier to use.
