DELMIA Robotics 2 (WL2)

DELMIA Robotics 2 is a powerful, integrated solution that enables manufacturing organizations to

design, simulate, optimize and program robotic workcells in a 3D digital factory environment. It offers
a scalable, flexible, easy to use solution for tooling definition, workcell layout, robot programming and
workcell simulation. It is much more than a basic offline programming system. It can capture the
underlying philosophy of intent of the robot programmer, allowing the company to capture and reuse
best practices, leverage programming knowledge and automate the repetitive work of robot
programming. It is ideally suited for work in the Automotive Body in White industry, particularly robot
spot welding and material handling operations. It can also be extended for use in other domains.

CSM Object Modeler (CSM)

DELMIA Automation CSM Object Modeler provides tools to manage the logical model structure for the

product and integrate the logical product into the V5 product structure. This product provides the high

level program, (how the blocks are connected) to define the logic that is to be simulated in the

program.

DELMIA Automation CSM Object Modeler manages the logical model; the hierarchical structure of the

modules in a program. Each module can contain sub-modules, data type definitions, functions which

are descriptions of how to compute a typed value from a set of other values, and program blocks.

CSM Modeler contains a type inference mechanism. This mechanism automatically propagates type

constraints along connections, allowing the program to verify that a generic component can be used in

a specific context.

Well defined semantics are implemented in the CSM model. This allows Semantics Authoring; the

capacity to use and verify the semantic rules interactively during program authoring.
Capabilities

 Provides readability and maintainability of an application

 Allows retention of certain data for a "safer" application

Highlights

 Provides a Logic Modeler based on the formal LCM language

 Strong-typed modeler allowing reliable software object management

 Generic Components using type inference

D5 Integration (D5I)

DELMIA D5 Integration allows current DELMIA D5 users to make best use of high-performance V5

products. DELMIA D5 data includes devices, device geometry, and kinematics from pre-V5 DELMIA

legacy software such as IGRIP, ENVISION, and ULTRA products. D5 Integration loads all versions of D5

data, including device kinematics, attributes such as color, transparency and textures, into V5

software, eliminating the need to re-create the data. Once data is loaded, it can be processed by any

DELMIA product that provides simulation functions.

D5I enhances productivity by means of a batch-mode translator, eliminating the need for the user to

translate item by item. This is especially useful when dealing with a large model or large quantity of

data.
Capabilities

 DELMIA D5 Integration serves as an effective bridge to carry data from DELMIA D5 to V5

products. It allows users to retrieve all versions of D5 Parts, Devices, Workcells,

Recordings, and Archived Workcells, enhancing user productivity.

 D5I allows loading of DELMIA D5 Workcells with Dimensions. A Measure Object is

created for a Dimension, which can then be used in DELMIA V5 products.

 D5I also allows the loading of DELMIA D5 Workcells with Annotations. A 3D Annotation

feature is created for an Annotation, which can then be used in DELMIA V5 products.

 Additionally, D5I allows loading of DELMIA D5 Workcells with User Views. A Camera

Object is created for a User View.

  Improves worker productivity by not having to re-set device relationships -- such as an

end-of-arm tooling attached to a robot -- once the device relationships are imported in

V5.

 Users importing D5 data will have option to also import the co-ordinate systems

defined in PDB parts. This will allow the user to use co-ordinates established in D5 as

frames of reference in V5 when building devices or locating parts.

 A field within the Compatibility Tab page will allow users to specify the DELMIA

configuration file(s) to be imported. The configuration file has all of the information

regarding the directories that contain Workcells, Devices, Parts, Recordings, etc. All

library definitions will be derived from the configuration file, eliminating the need for

the user to specify it in V5.

Highlights

 Supports DELMIA D5 legacy data (excluding simulation languages)

 Works with both the Product Document (CATIA) and the Process Document (DELMIA).

 Synchronizes with updates to D5 data

 Features a batch-mode translator

 Import device relationships originally created in D5 Workcell

 Import part coordinate systems as design tags

Device Building (DBG)

DELMIA Device Building enhances user productivity by creating kinematic models of manufacturing

tooling, such as fixtures, clamps, and other articulated mechanisms including twin wrist robots. DELMIA

Device Building users may define frames of interest on the device model. Such frames may be used to

define mechanical joints on the device, as well as specify attachment and tooling points on the device.

In the latter case, the user may select the corresponding frame when performing a weld gun search or

while mounting the device to a robot. This facilitates the integration of the device into a

manufacturing workcell by making the characteristics of the device visible.

DELMIA Device Building users may define manufacturing resources with symbolic kinematic relations

between the joints. These relations define the motion of dependent joints by equations that depend on

the current joint values of the independent commanded joints. This allows the user to model resources

with external behaviors that affect simulation without having to specify all the internal details of the

mechanism that may be otherwise needed for design and manufacturing of the resource itself.

DELMIA Device Building users may define named tool tips for any V5 or D5 device. Each tool tip

specifies a set of associated parts and a set of home positions. By specifying this information, certain

forms of analysis (such as clash detection) will ignore all collisions that occur between the tool tips and

product data. This enhancement will lead to more accurate weld gun searches.

DELMIA Device Building users may assign inverse kinematics behaviors to resource devices that are used

in manufacturing simulations. The inverse kinematics allow the devices to be driven by commanding

the tool positions instead of the joint positions. There are automatic inverse kinematics solvers

(generic and numeric) as well as device specific solvers (for industrial machines based on manufacturer

specifications) and user-defined solvers that allow users to provide the inverse kinematic algorithm for

special or experimental machines.

DELMIA Device Building is compatible with mechanisms defined in DMU Kinematics and supports the

importing of CAD models from various systems. The DMU Kinematics based models can specify the

forward kinematics for the manufacturing tooling or resource which can then be enhanced in Device

Building with advanced behaviors such as symbolic kinematic relations, travel limits, home positions,

inverse kinematics, maximum speeds and accelerations, controller profiles, applicative parameters,

and other manufacturing attributes. This software is ideal for a number of industries, including

automotive, aviation, ship building, and any industry that develops kinematic mechanisms.
Capabilities

 Device Building creates kinematic models of manufacturing tooling, such as fixtures,

clamps, and other articulated mechanisms. These kinematic models are created by

defining mechanical and geometric joints between distinct parts of an assembly.

Commands are provided to jog the device, define its travel limits, define a set of

named home positions, and synchronize the model with assembly constraints.
 DELMIA Device Building fully supports CATIA V4/V5 Mechanisms and DELMIA D5 Devices.

With the appropriate Multi-CAx plug-in, devices may be created using CAD models from

Unigraphics, Pro/ENGINEER, IDEAS, Solidworks, SolidEdge, and Acis/DXF3D.

 This feature allows the user to define fixed coordinate systems on parts that will later

be used to define mechanical joints.

 The user may also define frames of interest on the device model itself. Such frames

are typically used to specify the device's mount flange and tool-center point (TCP).

This allows the user to select the corresponding frames when performing a weld gun

search or while mounting the device to a robot.

 Users may create mechanical joints (revolute, prismatic, etc) by selecting frames on

the appropriate parts. This feature is typically used to create devices based on Multi-

CAx part and assembly models.

 The user may define manufacturing resources with symbolic kinematic relations

between the joints. These relations define the motion of dependent joints by

equations that depend on the current joint values of the independent commanded

joints. This allows the user to model resources with external behaviors that affect

simulation without having to specify all the internal details of the mechanism that may

be otherwise needed for design and manufacturing of the resource itself.

 The user may also define home positions for the device. These are predefined joint

values that correspond to states of the machine. The home positions allow the

resource to be easily moved to these states during manufacturing simulation. The joint

travel limits for the resource allow the user to specify the range of motion of the

device for checking during simulation.

 The users may assign Inverse kinematics behaviors to resource device that are used in

manufacturing simulations. The inverse kinematics allows the devices to be driven by

commanding the tool positions instead of the joint positions. There are automatic
 inverse kinematics solvers (generic and numeric) as well as device specific solvers (for

industrial machines based on manufacturer specifications) and user-defined solvers

that allow users to provide the inverse kinematic algorithm for special or experimental

machines.

 For manufacturing resources with inverse kinematics such as industrial robots, DELMIA

Device Building provides the ability to define various preset controller settings for

Tools, Motion, Accuracy and Object type profiles. These profiles allow the

manufacturing resource Tasks to switch behaviors for tool placement as well as motion

planning such as speed and flyby during simulation.

 Another DELMIA Device Building feature is the ability to define named tool tips for any

V5 or D5 device. Each tool tip specifies a set of associated parts and a set of home

positions. By specifying this information, certain forms of analysis (such as clash

detection) will ignore all collisions that occur between the tool tips and product data.

This enhancement will lead to more accurate weld gun searches.

 The Device controller synchronization provides the capability to share the local

changes of the device controller across multiple usage of the device.

Highlights

 Creates kinematic models of manufacturing tooling

 Supports Multi-CAx parts and assemblies

 Defines frames of interest on parts and devices

 Creates mechanical joints based on frame selection

 Assign symbolic kinematic relations between joints

 Defines home positions and joint travel limits

 Assign inverse kinematics to manufacturing resources

 Defines tool tips

Object Manager 2 (DOM)

The Next Generation DELMIA Solution Version 5 is built on a totally new scalable architecture, which

combines the best of the current CATIA technologies with new generation standards. It offers total

single system image across Native Windows and UNIX environments, and an extensible environment

capable of supporting all aspects of the Digital Enterprise, from Digital Mockup, Digital Manufacturing,

to Digital Operation and Digital Plant definition.

The Version 5 system architecture offers a unique scalability environment which gives to customers the

choice of selecting the optimum set of solutions, given the CAD/CAM specialization of the intended

users, the complexity of the project and corresponding functional requirements. The 2 possible choices

are DELMIA-P1 and DELMIA-P2 installations.

Capabilities

 The completely reengineered DELMIA Version 5 is built upon next generation

technologies such as C++, object oriented programming, STEP, CORBA and OpenGL,

OLE, Java. These leading-edge standards ensure architecture scalability, and increased

overall system quality and openness.

 As with all DELMIA V5 applications, DELMIA Object Manager 2 (DOM) enables designers

to focus on creativity rather than software manipulation. 3D design becomes natural

and intuitive with V5 user interface. You benefit from all Windows standards for

ergonomics. All applications are homogeneous and therefore let you combine their

usage seamlessly along your design. Your specifications are structured in a tree view

with a user-friendly navigation. The interface is structured around integrated

workbenches that comprise the necessary tools needed to make user tasks readily

accessible. Customizations are possible to fit the specific needs of users. For example,

you can customize your graphical user interface by creating your personal toolbars or

select your favorite workbenches.

 V5 provides through DOM outstanding quality of visualization. Actually, "What You See

Is What You Get" as the simulation fully reflects the reality for both product structure
 and motions (user manipulations and assembly interferences). Graphic performance is

enhanced due to the level of detail management, depth cueing (clip and fog) and

multithreaded graphics (IBM-AIX, SGI-IRIX and SUN-Solaris). Ground and light source

effects allow the digital mock-up to be placed in a reference environment.

 Thanks to single system image, V5 users can work with Windows or UNIX environments

or a combination of both. DELMIA Object Manager 2 provides core user functions, an

identical set of utilities with a consistent user interface across both platforms. Because

V5 data is totally compatible, it can be seamlessly exchanged between UNIX and NT.

 Version 5 provides a unique Specification Driven and generative modeling approach,

which captures and re-uses process specifications, ultimately accelerating the design

process. Version 5 offers a specification modeler that allows concentrating the design

effort on establishing the proper design specifications while leaving it to the system to

compute or update the resulting geometry when required. Such an approach is

implemented as a generalized mechanism for all Version 5 applications. The

specification modeler offers unique ways to manage links between objects stored in

different documents thus making possible multi-user implementations and concurrent

engineering methodologies. The persistence of objects facilitates the implementation

of your methodologies and especially concurrent engineering.

 Version 5 captures the design intent as design specifications, and allows editing either

the specifications themselves or the resulting geometry. Beyond a traditional

parametric or variational approach, this third generation of modeling technology offers

both flexibility and high productivity gains to users. As a basic function of Version 5, it

is possible to establish and manage design specifications in the form of parameters and

formulas. The Design Table relation allows creating part variations from a table of

parameter values. Configurations can then be modified automatically and/or

dynamically, providing you smart parts. DOM is the entry point to knowledgeware
 tools: Knowledge Optimizer, Knowledge Advisor, Knowledge Expert, and Generative

knowledge.

Highlights

 Leading edge technology and advanced features for high productivity on a single system image

on native Windows and UNIX environments

 Ease of Use due to a state-of-the-art user interface for CAD systems

 Design knowledge can be captured and reused to introduce company standards in the design

phase and to increase productivity

 Outstanding visualization

 3D XML leverages the reuse of manufacturing rich PLM data and spread its content everywhere

and for multiple purposes that goes beyond PLM applications.

CLM Object Modeler (LM1)

DELMIA Automation CLM Object Modeler provides tools to define the precise dynamic behavior of a CSM

block when used in conjunction with DELMIA Automation CSM Object Modeler. CLM Object Modeler

allows the user to define synchronous event behavior in the application. The CLM model is a graph of

states links by transition that contains logical conditions to specify how to change state. State actions

that are performed during execution include:

Set an output port to a value

Star a sub block

Perform parallel execution of sub-state graphs

Logical conditions of the block are the result of the evaluation of the input port or internal value.

Externally, actions in CLM can call external C functions to interact during simulation with 3D

visualization, GUI objects, or external systems.

Capabilities

 Provides readability and maintainability of an application

  Allows retention and management of certain dimension and unit information for a

"safer" application

Highlights

 This formal language ensures that the execution of a model is completely defined in the model

and does not depend on the implementation of the execution of the application.

 The strong typing mechanism of LCM allows the user to perform many verifications during the

design of the model and to check type inference between ports and actions/logical conditions

and functions.

MultiCAx - CATIA Plug-in (MCP)

The MultiCAx products provide the ability to handle proprietary data from a large number of CAD

systems. The MultiCAx products enable the import of 3D data from I-DEAS, Pro/ENGINEER, Unigraphics,

SolidEdge, Inventor, SolidWorks, ACIS, Parasolid, DELMIA D5, CATIA Version 4, CATIA Version 5 and

various other formats (IGES, STEP, STL, SLP, OBJ Wavefront, VRML, I-DEAS IFF ).

The MultiCAx products may be used in conjunction with ENOVIA Portal products to visualize a MultiCAx

digital mock-up, that include MultiCAx parts and in conjunction with CATIA to enable data coming from

non-CATIA systems to be used in a hybrid product development environment.

Capabilities

 Many customer environments involve the use of multiple CAD/CAM products, either 2D

or 3D. This may be because over time, as one CAD product replaces another, it was

necessary to keep a minimum number of the previous system s licenses to maintain the

data. Or perhaps the different products satisfy different requirements across

mechanical, electrical or software development departments. Then again, in an

extended enterprise where multiple suppliers are exchanging data, it may be that

members of the engineering supply chain use different CAD systems. In all these cases,

full design-in-context capabilities are only available if the designers are able to use the

CAD data whichever tool it comes from. MultiCAx products provide the ability to
 convert foreign CAD data from its native format into a format compatible with a digital

mock-up development environment and to support collaborative work for

implementation of best practices such as review, interference detection, kinematics,

fitting and so on using ENOVIA Portal. Customers using CATIA can benefit from the

MultiCAx environment made possible by these products to optimize their design-in-

context design practices by using mixed CATIA and MultiCAx geometry.

Highlights

 Organizations to preserve their CAD investment while still benefiting from rich design-in-

context and digital mock-up processes.

 Collaborative working, with data coming from multiple different CAD systems, and being used

in a single heterogeneous digital mock-up and design environment.

 Exact positioning and exact measurement of MultiCAx parts using facilities offered by the

digital mock-up and design tools such as planes, coordinate systems and cylinder axis.

 Assembly support: Where assemblies are supported, the links they carry towards component

parts are resolved, enabling complete assemblies to be automatically and accurately inserted

into the digital mock-up product structure.

Resource Layout (MRL)

DELMIA Manufacturing Resource Layout allows customers to work quickly and efficiently on factory

layouts; providing resource footprint reservation and advanced layout tools. These tools can be used at

various stages of the factory definition from logical definition of the manufacturing concept to resource

detailed design.

DELMIA Manufacturing Resource Layout provides powerful tools for managing, manipulating, and

arranging resource footprints. A footprint is a resource’s reservation of space on the shop floor. Each

logical and physical resource, such as a station, has a default footprint. These footprints allow the user

to know what space they can use when positioning a physical resource within a layout. Footprints are

persistent in the PPR Manufacturing Hub without any detailing requirement.

DELMIA Manufacturing Resource Layout provides powerful tools for the layout of logical and physical

resources. Footprints may be snapped to a grid, aligned, distributed, or moved separately providing a

quick method to lay out entire lines and the whole factory.

DELMIA Manufacturing Resource Layout also enables Generative Drafting to extract resource attributes

as annotations and footprint contours from the PPR Manufacturing Hub while generating the drafting

view.
Capabilities

 Creates resource "footprints" for more accurate resource layout

Highlights

 DELMIA Manufacturing Resource Layout provides tools for 3D resource layout and area

reservation and detailed design for physical resources for more efficient factory layout.

DMU Space Analysis 2 (MSA)

DMU Space Analysis 2 (MSA) performs optimum DMU verification using advanced interference detection

and analysis, superior sectioning analysis, measurement, distance analysis and 3D geometry comparison

tools. Interferences can be detected interactively or in batch mode, analyzed, and results can be

saved. The user can do sectioning dynamically with mouse-based manipulation and save the section

results for reuse. Tools are included in the product for distance analysis and 3D geometry comparison.

Distance analysis of motion simulations and animation of sectioning results are possible through

integration with other DMU products.

DMU Space Analysis 2 (MSA) allows advanced validation of designs by ensuring a better understanding of

the problems for quick solving. It addresses populations involved in digital mockup review and product

packaging processes and can be used all along the product life cycle: from the design in context to the

maintenance review.

DMU Space Analysis 2 (MSA) is capable of handling digital mockups of all sizes from consumer goods

assemblies to very large automotive, aerospace, plant, ships or heavy machinery mockups.
Capabilities
 The user can simply perform interference checking computations interactively for

clash, clearance, and contact, and visualize conflict details (parts in conflict and

intersection curves). The penetration depth or minimal distance between 2 products in

conflict can be displayed at the first step of the clash computation, allowing the user

to sort the list of conflicts according to their importance before beginning to do

further analysis. The user has also the ability to interrupt the computation.

 The user can define precisely parts to analyze (one versus another one, all part inside

one group, etc) and display the list of interferences with associated information

(conflict numbering, parts involved, etc.). He can filter this list according to multiple

criteria (irrelevant, relevant, not inspected) and finally present the results through a

matrix of conflicts.

 The user can also print the results and output them as text file, or XML file. This file

coupled with a style sheet presents the clash results in a HTML browser. The style

sheet can be entirely customized by the user.

 The user can define two parts or assemblies to compare. The comparison can either be

done in a visual comparison mode or a geometry comparison mode. Whereas the visual

comparison mode offers faster and finer accuracy, the 3D geometry comparison can be

performed in batch mode through VB script. Once computed, the differences between

the two parts or assemblies can be visualized in a dedicated viewer. In addition, a

sectioning capability is available inside the compare command, providing users with

the ability to section the comparison results, browse the section, make measurements

on the section, access additional information for a thorough inspection and a better

assessment of the differences between the 2 objects.

 Minimal distance can be computed between two products. The user can define

precisely parts to analyze (all part of one group versus another group, versus all the

other parts, etc.). Moreover, the user can check that the minimal distance between
 two products falls in a given range (Band analysis). The result (surfaces) can be saved

as CATIA V4 model in order to be reused in a V4 design context. The results can also be

exported as CGR or VRML formats for later reuse.

 The user can perform automation through VB access for Clash, Distance & Band

Analysis, Sectioning, and 3D geometry comparison.

Highlights

 Checks interferences in interactive or batch mode for large amount of data, analyzes and

stores the results

 Compares 3D geometry, visualizes the result in a dedicated viewer, saves the results for reuse,

perform sectioning on the 3D comparison and take measurements on the section

 Provides distance and band analysis tools

 Provides a set of exact measurements on and between products, parts and features

 Integrates with other DMU products for distance analysis of motion simulations and animation

of sectioning results

 Allows automation through VB access for Clash, Distance & Band Analysis, and Sectioning

Standard Robot Library (SRL)

DELMIA SRL provides robot resource models and robot specific kinematics required to perform robot

reachability analysis.

SRL can be integrated with other process planning tools to provide complete end-to-end coverage of

process planning, process detailing, process validating, and process implementing.

SRL consolidates the robot resource models and robot kinematics to be delivered as part of the V5

Robot Simulation configurations or as an add-on product for other V5 configurations. Without this

product users will not have the IK solvers to create robot inverse kinematic motion control.
Capabilities
  The provides a library of 700 robot models for users to choose from. These models can

be retrieved using standard V5 retrieval methods.

 Users can move the robot model joints using the IK solvers. (TCP motion).

Highlights

 Robot resource model library of 700 models.

 IK solvers to provide Tool Center Point (TCP) motion.

Workcell Sequencing (WSQ)

Workcell Sequencing is a powerful 3D simulation tool used to design and simulate manufacturing

processes. It builds upon the workcell model developed in Robot Task Definition, Human Task

Simulation, or DPM Assembly Process Simulation. With Workcell Sequencing, the user can coordinate

and review the functioning of multiple resources as they work in tandem.

The interface is intended to enable task synchronization among any programmable resources such as

robots or human models. The tools are synchronized using IO technology. Workcell Sequencing allows it

to link the resource programs to the process planning, and so creates a bridge between the resource-

centric programming and the high-level manufacturing process description.

Design and manufacturing engineers can use Workcell Sequencing to see simulations of robotic

movement. The simulation reproduces both simple and complex robotic manufacturing processes

exactly as they are defined.

Users who have opted to have Realistic Robot Simulation (RRS) installed can also use this tool to further

refine their simulations. (See the Realistic Robot Simulation User’s Guide, if applicable).
Capabilities

 Assign resource tasks

 Define resource IO

 Define Interference zones

Highlights
 In previous releases, robot programs consisted of robot sequences. Sequences could be created

independently of a particular robot, although ultimately a robot had to be assigned to a

sequence in order to make it work. The old robot sequences were listed under the process node

of the PPR tree. As of V5 release 10, robot programs are created for a specific robot and are

consequently listed under the robot's data, in the resource node of the PPR tree. Robots may

have more than one task created for them. When a robot is assigned to a process activity, the

tasks created for the robot may also be assigned to that activity. To create a link between

process planning and robot programs, the concept of active task has been introduced. Because

users can create more than one task for a specific resource, they must select the task they

want performed in conjunction with a particular activity. The Set Active Task command

enables users to do so. The resource assignment can be translated by "The resource R

implements the Process P". The user may now assign an existing task to a resource in the

process plan. Assigning resource tasks extends this concept to get "The resource R implements

the Process P by running Task T". This allows the process planner to simulate the process and

have the resources working on their tasks together.

 Users can create IO states for programmable resources. The user can then create activities in

the resource tasks to evaluate these states or to make the resource wait for a state to be

evaluated. This simple "set" and "wait" mechanism is used to synchronize resources. IO

connections between robots can be visualized and a dedicated user interface allows the users

to easily alter the IO map.

 The user may monitor the status of the IO states and signals using the IO Monitor panel. The

user may perform dynamic analysis of the IO states by ignoring all the IO signals or by selecting

the required IO lines from the multi list to force a change in signals.

 Users can define interference zones, and create activities defining when a resource has either

entered or cleared the zone. Whenever a resource is in a zone, no other resource can access

the same zone.

Device Task Definition (WSU)

DELMIA – Equipment Arrangement 2 builds and manages intelligent representations of equipment… This

intelligent, or Smart Object, modeling and customization capability provides a base object model that

incorporates basic equipment behaviors, relationships and attributes. In addition, it allows the designer

to customize the object model, through the ability to define sub-classes and add attributes.

Provides user defined ID rules for objects … Designers can define ID rules to specify their company-

specific naming formats and conventions for objects. In addition, ID rules can be assigned to individual

classes of objects. When objects are created in the design document, their ID’s are generated

automatically, using the user defined ID rules.

Allows function-driven piping parts placement on the layout… Users can capture the design intent for

selected physical parts to ensure modification scenarios are possible based on the original reasons for

the piping layout. This knowledge management functionality will follow the parts throughout their

existence in the company data repository, and will be available for future reference when

maintenance/upgrade is required.

Allows piping and instrumentation-driven equipment placement With this new function, users can

select equipment from the catalog, using specifications that are defined for a specific project and to

meet a precise context. These specifications may include temperature, pressure, corrosion allowance,

etc. In addition, pipe specification-driven nozzles can be created. This functionality provides users

‘design-for-use’ methodology, allowing precise specifications to be met.

Placement of equipment from catalogs… Catalog-driven equipment placement enables users to build

layouts quickly, using the standard catalog browser. Additionally, user-defined equipment and

components can be easily stored and accessed from the catalog, as required.

Allows arrangement of equipment in design documents … Designers can easily arrange equipment with

respect to, or independent of, other objects in the design document.

Integrates dynamic rule triggering during the preliminary and detailed design process … Users can

employ standard rules, or create their own customized checks, to analyze and validate their designs.

Supplies productive equipment modification capabilities… Through the use of direct manipulation

capabilities, equipment locations, as well as geometric parameters, can be easily modified on the fly.
Tools also allow offset measurement between equipment and objects in the design model, and provide

associativity between equipment and other objects that are defined in the design document.

Powerful query and analysis capabilities… Users can perform a wide variety of queries and/or analysis

on the specific properties of any object in the design document. This includes searching for objects in

the design model based on object class hierarchy, and querying specific equipment behaviors. Through

a network analysis tool, designers also have the ability to query and analyze equipment connectivity.

Additionally, users can browse the equipment catalog and search, via catalog hierarchy, equipment

geometry and technology, to locate a particular part. This is helpful throughout the product lifecycle,

providing easy access to part information all the way to the crew maintaining the equipment

throughout its use.

Provides powerful setup tools… The product now supports the use of multiple graphic representations

for defining equipment symbols when creating catalogs. During the design process, users can activate

graphic representations while the status remains active. The user can customize corporate data and

define rules that will enforce company standards, such as equipment specification and geometry

definitions, as well as equipment catalog building. ANSI-based equipment starter catalog and tables

enable administrators to establish project specifications and standards that ensure a quality design. A

Starter set provides initial, customizable templates for standard nozzle types and equipment, including

vessels, heat exchangers, motors, drives and pumps, and includes data definitions, parametric shapes

and specification tables.

Capabilities

 Device Task Definition enables users to design and optimize their manufacturing

workcell layout. It deals with the "spatial organization" and components of the plant,

allowing quick easy layout and downstream evolution of the layout design. Through the

DELMIA integrated product environment, users have a seamless solution to address all

their manufacturing environment needs. They have the tools necessary to optimize

production facility layout, leading to optimized factory production and output.

 Device Task Definition enables users to add tool actions to the robot tasks prior to, or

after a target reach. These action items include part pickup, welding, etc.
  Users of DELMIA Device Task Definition can "teach" individual robots specific tasks. This

includes both Cartesian and joint jogging. The user is able to verify reachability and a

collision free path concurrent with teaching the robot tasks saving time and improving

process accuracy. It is also possible to define specifications for other kinds of devices

in the workcell (such as weld guns).

 DELMIA Device Task Definition enables users to set up tags and tag groups, which form

the basis for robot tasks. Device Task Definition provides a wide range of options for

manipulating the tags and associating the tags with specific places on parts.
