Configuring Robot Settings  

This procedure describes how to configure the robot settings so that you can perform analysis on robots during simulation or jog.
  This command enables you to determine how you want to be informed of the outcome of any of the checks you run.  You can chose:
  • to receive no data (Off)
  • to have the geometry highlighted (Highlight)
  • to receive a message window (Verbose, which consists of both the message window and highlighting),  or
  • to interrupt the simulation (Interrupt, which consists of both the interruption plus the information provided by Verbose).
  The analysis levels selected in the Robot Settings tab of the Analysis Configuration dialog box overrides what was originally set using Tools > Options > Infrastructure > DELMIA Infrastructure > Robot Analysis tab. If, after altering settings in the Analysis Configuration dialog box, you alter the settings in Tools > Options, the latter change takes precedence.  Changes made only in the Analysis Configuration dialog box do not remain in effect once the session ends.
  The robot checks available to you are determined by the profiles of the robots in your processes.

  1. Click Analysis Configuration .

    The Analysis Configuration dialog box appears; select the Robot Settings tab:
     

  2. From the lists, select the analysis level you want for checking any violations of the robot limits.

    The robot limits are determined by the robot data used for the robots available in the simulation or jog.
      The table below explains the options:
     
    Level Meaning
    Off (default) Selecting this level means that you do not receive any notification during a simulation or jog about any of the checks you have set.  

    Setting this mode to Off overrides the Analysis Status  when it is set to On, as described in Setting Analysis Mode.
    Highlight The analysis objects on the Selected list are checked during the simulation or jog.
    • If a clash violation occurs, the parts involved appear highlighted during the simulation or jog.
    • If a distance check is selected, the distance is displayed during simulation or jog.
    • If a band width analysis check is selected and a band width violation occurs, the band width will be displayed in green/red and collision curves. 
    • Otherwise the distance is displayed during simulation or jog.
    Verbose The analysis objects on the Selected list are checked during the simulation or jog. 
    • If a clash violation occurs, the parts involved appears highlighted and a message is displayed. You can also use the message window to see more detailed information about the violation.
    • For distance analysis and band width, each step in a simulation results in a message for the user because there is always a minimum distance to report.  You can also use the message window to see more detailed information.
    Interrupt The analysis objects on the Selected list are checked during the simulation or jog. 
    • If a clash violation occurs, the parts involved appear highlighted, a message is displayed, and the simulation or jog stops. You can also use the message window to see more detailed information about the violation or about distance or band width checks.
    • For distance and band width checks, the behavior is the same as the Verbose mode.
      The highlight colors are the default colors.  You can alter the colors by selecting Tools > Options > Infrastructure > DELMIA Infrastructure > Robot Analysis tab from the menu bar.

  3. Do you want to also select analysis object or device or IO setting checks?

    • If you want also to select analysis object checks, go to Configuring Analysis Objects.
    • If you want also to select device setting checks, go to Configuring the Device Settings.
    • If you want also to select IO setting checks, go to Configuring IO Settings.
    • If you have set all the checks you want, click OK.

      A pop-up window asks if you want to turn on analysis mode. 

      You can either click Yes, or you can later turn on analysis mode (to do so, see Setting Analysis Mode).
      The pop up window can be controlled through the settings in Tools > Options > Infrastructure > DELMIA Infrastructure >Analysis.  Please check the Analysis Mode Activation section of the Customizing documentation for the Analysis tab.
