Configuring Device Settings  

This procedure describes how to configure the device settings so that you can perform analysis on devices 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 Device Settings tab of the Analysis Configuration dialog box overrides what was originally set using Tools > Options > Infrastructure > DELMIA Infrastructure > Device 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 device checks available to you are determined by the profiles of the devices in your processes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Click Analysis Configuration .

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

  2. From the lists, select the analysis level you want for checking any violations of the degrees of freedom (DOF) for any of the device limits or for the caution zone.

    The device limits and the caution zone are determined by the device data associated with the devices used in the simulation or jog.
      The table below lists the analysis levels and explains their meanings.
     
    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 Status.
    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 > Device Analysis tab from the menu bar.

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

    • If you want also to select analysis object checks, go to Configuring Analysis Objects.
    • If you want also to select robot setting checks, go to Configuring Robot 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 Status).
      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.
