Overview

Process Simulate® is a digital manufacturing solution for manufacturing process verification in a 3D environment, and it is a major enabler of speed-to-market. Also, Process Simulate® is fully integrated with the manufacturing backbone, thus enabling manufacturing engineers to reuse, author and validate manufacturing processes. It presents the user with an advanced interface that is capable of emulating realistic behavior of manufacturing processes and optimization of cycle times and process sequence. Process Simulate® facilitates simulation of assembly processes, human operations and mechanical procedures of tools, devices and robots. Most importantly, it is highly scalable, providing various engineering disciplines with the data and toolset to examine detailed processes and verify them in different phases and perspectives.
