Hello!!! I am about to start a project by programming a spot welding robot from Bisiach and Carrù and I would like to know if somebody can give me some tips for beginners about process simulate, robot welding and biach and carrù robot. Thanks in advance !!!

Never heard about this brand before.
So my advice will be try to discover what is the robot controller:Bisiach and Carrú proprietary controller? Some kind of CNC? Or a third party solution like B&R or KEBA?
With this information in hand, your next step should be try to get the documentation to this specific controller.
From there, You can have an idea about what would be possible to do on a simulation environment, like Process Simulate.
And about the welding part, there are a lot of different welding processes around, each of them with their own branches and specifities. I would leave this for a second moment.

Hello Massula, It's from a specialized italian company u can see the link at the bootom of this message !!!
The controller is a Siemens CNC, Sinumerik 840D. I don't have the documentation yet ofr this particular CNC but I should have it soon. About the welding part, I have the procedures and the necessary parameters n their value for each of them. I just need to know about stuff I should look at before I start programming and some tips and tricks. Knowing that I have more than a couple of 1000 points to weld, what do you think would be the right strategy, and so on .......

Wow... 1000 spot welds are a lot of work...
Just for curiosity, what will be the cycle time of this station?
Since the machine is controlled by an 840D, You are covered by various simulation systems, like Process Simulate or RoboDK. And with a program this size, the best option would be generate a path using some kind of simulator.
About the welding, part, it will depend on a lot of factors, and here I'm assuming that this will be some kind of spot welding, based on the link You have posted on previous message.
Some basic tips include dress the electrode tips before the weld, check the refrigeration system to avoid stuck electrodes, check electrode pressure over the welded surface, check the equalizers, if present, to avoid damage the part, and try to keep the electrode tip as perpendicular to the welded surface as possible.
Unfortunately, I believe You need to teach each point individually.
