Hi All,
Sorry, I very very new to ROBODK.
I have 1.5 day experience in the free trial version...
We'd like to know can we utilize this software in our production, and/or in technical preparation (including preliminary calculations for proposals).
So the main advantage for us would be the simulation of multiple robot cells, to calculate/measure cycle times to support the decision making process, and convince the management to automate more welding tasks.
After the trial version expires, I will try to convince my boss to buy a full license.
It is also a good opportunity for us, to test that, is it possible to succeed with the software, without any training.
So, it think I have got to farther in this 1.5 days, than I thougt before.
I have figured out a lot of things from myself, but stuck with some trivial things...
I've made a welding cell with 2 robots, and a positioner see pictures:

I could import a welding gun for the welding robots, set their TCPs, attached fixture for the positioner, and set as a tool.
The robots can use the guns without any problem, the fixture turns together with the positioners.
I inserted a part (you can see in the screenshots).
Questions:
How can I fit a reference frame with another reference frame?
I have configured the fixture 3D model with the same reference frame orientation as the positioner's.
So I could easily attach the fixture to the positioner. The fixture turns together with the positioners flange.
The part's (the tank) reference frame also has the same orientation as the positioner's and the fixture's.
If I am right, the tank's reference frame should be recpect to the positioner's flange.
However I didn't find this option. It could be set only for the Base reference frame...
It works in the case of the fixture. It's reference frame is respect to the flange of the positioner, and turns together with the flange.
I figured that out, I cannot handle the part as a tool, because later I cannot use "target from surface" command with a tool, to generate targets...
On the other hand, I cannot fit their reference frames, if tha part not handled as a tool
Second question.
How can I set the simulation speed?
I need real time simulation, when I run the program, I'd like to see the robots move with actual speed (I have set).
I used the 'set speed intruction' but I didn't see any difference in the speed of the movements...
I'd like to see them move with the speed I set.
Sorry about the trivial questions.
Thanks for suggestions.
