The Tecnomatix product line development team is pleased to announce the availability of Tecnomatix Process Simulate 16.1.0 is a major enabler of speed-to-market by allowing manufacturing organizations to virtually validate manufacturing concepts upfront – throughout the lifecycle of product introductions.
Tecnomatix software is designed to empower manufacturers to digitalize manufacturing and the process of turning their innovative product ideas and raw materials into transformative products. The latest Tecnomatix release continues to deliver the advanced digital manufacturing capabilities that you have come to expect.
As always, with any new software version there are many exciting new features to talk about.
Realtime Robotics (RTR) enhancements
Starting this version, when you run a simulation, the robots' status changes from Connected to Controlled (by Realtime Robotics), and returns to Connected when you reset the simulation.
Now if RTR reports an error (in the relevant robot tab in the Simulation Monitor), resetting the simulation in Process Simulation often clears many errors. Disconnecting and reconnecting the robot can resolve further issues.
ArtiMinds enhancements
- To make ArtiMinds functionality available in Process Simulate, the organization's IT administrator should install the ArtiMinds Programming suite from the Tecnomatix DVD and download CAD models from the ArtiMinds site. See the Installation manual for details.
- You can now create separate Process Simulate operations for each ArtiMinds template. Switch case is also supported, allowing you to simulate each case as an operation by itself, so you can run any flow you want.
- It is possible to link RPS templates to specific locations in Process Simulate (waypoints), which are automatically updated when you modify the Process Simulate locations.
- You can select or pick a point to serve as a waypoint for creating an operation in a new ArtiMinds template.
Safety Robots Manager enhancements
- Starting this version, you can create a folder structure for Safety Objects in the Safety Robots Manager by right clicking any robot. Folders created this way are also shown in the Object Tree, allowing you to group Safety Objects into Station, or even Line level folders, for easy handling such as blanking and displaying them.
- Now when you open Safety Robots Manager in a study in Process Simulate, which includes Safety Resources created in older versions of the application, the Safety Robots Manager prompts you to upgrade resources to Safety Objects. In this manner, you can easily upgrade all safety resources in a single click. You can choose not to upgrade, but then you cannot make any further changes to the defined safety.
Process Simulate on Teamcenter enhancements
Sometimes it is helpful to freeze the state of the plant data (occurrence information) to view its state at some previous point during its evolution. Teamcenter provides a Release Workflow for freezing a desired configuration and a Revise mechanism to initiate a new working revision in preparation for the next round of development.
Previously, releasing the plant (or a sub scope), did not release tool occurrence data of Process Simulate (robot setup information, human occurrence specific information, and PLC related information). Therefore, when modifying information in preparation for the next milestone, data created for the previously-released states was overwritten.
From Teamcenter 13.1/Process Simulate 16.1, (Process Simulate automatically detects the Teamcenter version and if this is below 13.1, retains the old behavior) Process Simulate stores occurrence datasets in such a way that when performing a Teamcenter Release or Revise of compound resources (workareas) such as lines, stations, or robot packages, it is also possible to apply this behavior to instance information.
VRC Controller Settings enhancements
In this version, a new Name column is added to the Controller Settings dialog box under VRC, allowing you to specify the corresponding name of each robot. By default, the name is derived from the Robot Name. Also, the VRC group is renamed to Virtual Robot Controller.
Robot Program Viewer enhancements
- Robot Program Viewer now supports Messaging commands in its Operator tab for Kuka, Fanuc, and ABB. These messages emulate dialogs usually displayed on the real robot Pendant, and can be Notification, Selection, Status or Input Dialogs. For FANUC, supported message commands are MESSAGE, Prompt Box Msg, Prompt Box YN, List Menu and Status Menu. For ABB, most messaging commands are supported, including TPWrite, TPReadFK, TPReadNum, UiNumEntry, UiNumTune, UiAlphaEntry, UiMsgBox, UiMessageBox, and UiListView. The messages are displayed sequentially in the Robot Program Viewer, in the order in which they were created.
- In addition to tracking programs, you can now track and edit your robot program by editing OLP commands for any controller directly in the Robot Program Viewer, by simply right-clicking or doubleclicking the command. This way you can easily add, edit or delete OLP commands without having to open another viewer.
SCL Editor enhancements
- The SCL Editor now allows access to Conveyor Control Points via dedicated functions. Using Control Points in SCL allows reusing them efficiently within the conveyor's logical behavior model on the item level. You can find Script samples under empower\Scripting\SCL
- From this version, Process Simulate setup includes SCL code templates in .scl format (text), which you can use directly inside the SCL Editor. Templates can be found under C:\Program Files\Tecnomatix_16.1\eMPower\Scripting\SCL\Templates. Each template also has documentation in PDF format next to it.

Human ethnic figures appearance options
In version 16.1, we introduce racial appearance diversity for the human figures. You can now create Jack and Jill figures with appearances of three different races. While the functionally of the figures is the same that was introduced in version 16, these new options enable you to represent the diversity of racial appearances around the globe.
You can select from a variety of races when creating humans, to more realistically represent the diversity of people interacting with your designs.
The success of a product is often linked to its worldwide usability, so a designer’s awareness of inclusivity can lead to products more likely to succeed globally. Furthermore, engineering issues are often discussed with team members from different countries. In recognition of this diversity, experienced both during engineering phases and product use, Process Simulate Human version 16.1 now enables you to choose from three appearances for your Jack and Jill manikins. In addition to specifying the anthropometric dimensions of the figures.
Enhancements
- Starting this version the DirectModel module is upgraded to version 9.8.1.
- Import of SolidWorks 2020 models is now supported for Process Simulate VC Lite.
- Tecnomatix version 16.1 and Teamcenter Vis 13.0 and higher are compatible with JT Version v10.6.
- This version uses the Process Simulate Inverse Kinematics calculator to offer improved support for BISIACH robots.
- Now you can generate interference zone spheres (using the Zone Preview command) for seam location operations. Also, non-neighboring zones are no longer indicated as red zones.
- Now you can define multiple Move Joint to Value actions for the same joint. Previously there was a restriction that allowed you to use only a single Move Joint to Value action per joint.
- Now, when you add conveyor control points, if the system detects multiple control points with the same name, it prompts you to confirm automatic renaming of the duplicates, or opens a window enabling you to rename them manually.
- Now the Merge Study command displays folders from both studies in the resulting study, preventing you from losing structures that were already created.
- Fanuc-Rj OLP controller now supports:
- Line tracking simulation with new RCS modules 7.50, 8.20, and 9.10 from FANUC
- ROBOGUIDE VRC simulation managed by remote signals (without entry program pointer)
- The new UseFixedDecimalDigits attribute in the Robotics Customized User Interface enables you to add digits after the decimal point of the parameter. This is important for some controllers that require listing the additional digits.
- Now when objects are defined as dynamic with the Physics engine, they can either be consumed as simulated objects, or attached to other objects while operations are in process.
- From this version, you can include Safety Objects, generated by Safety Robots Manager, for calculating the Stop Envelope.
- All applications in Process Simulate now support the SINT (Short Integer) signal type. SINT is an 8-bit signed integer.
- When you select the Expand tree to show Graphics Viewer select in the Options dialog box, now all multiple resources for a signal are selected in the Object Tree.
- Now all signals are considered active during Line Simulation (their specific actions are executed). To change this, you can activate the new Activate Assigned signals only option in the Simulation tab of the Options dialog box. In this case, signals are only activated if they actively participate in the simulation. When the option is off (default), performance may be affected.
- Line tracking now works with SCL-driven conveyors.
- Process Simulate VC Lite now supports Paint and Coverage functionality.
- Tecnomatix applications now automatically create customized column sets for all supported controllers. The column sets are loaded and available for currently-installed robot controllers.
