Insights Report

This page intends to explain the end-to-end simulation user case of the Simulation community Suite.

glTF Viewer Widget

The insights Report will have the Simulation recorded by the user that is creating the simulation. (e.g. glTF Sample Viewer (khronos.org))

It should look like a video where the viewer of Insights Report can play it and see the complete cycle.

Cycle Time Widget

The intention is to design the easiest way to create a cycle time functionality with the least number of iterations from the user.

Cycle time that we want to measure is defined of the time that the part enters into the cell to the time that the part exits the cell. Being the batch cycle time this:

Cycle Time Calculation

For that we have 3 elements:

  • Source: The source is the element where the part initiates the process.

    • In the source User will define what is the total amount of parts that a batch contains. Source has the number of workpiece that user will instantiate.

    • In the source User will define what is the workpiece that he/she wants to instantiate

  • Sink: The source is the element where the part will end its process:

    • The sink will define if the part should disappear or should be maintained in the scene. In a process where the user wants to make disappear the part i.e. a part exiting when arrives to the end of the conveyor after being manipulated this parameter should be selected as “Disappear”. In a palletizing scene the user wants to maintain the box in the last position until the complete batch is done in this case the parameter should be configure as “Maintain”.

    • Challenge !!!!: How we configure the Sink to something like a Pallet where there will be different levels.

  • Workpiece: The workpiece will define the part that the user wants to manipulate i.e. a cylinder (machine tending), a box(palletizing) or a custom CAD.

The output of this functionality should be a graph showing the cycle time of the complete batch and the different cycles of each part.

Case 1: Palletizing

Case2 : Welding

Case 3: Machine tending

Reachability Summary Widget

Now the viewer of the Insight Report will be able to see any reachability study for any part that the user doing the simulation wants to show. Every part can be different depending on their size and configuration.

  • The user of the Simulation will send that widget once that the layout is ready pushing a button in the Simulator.

  • The user of the Simulation will have the capability to create a widget per workpiece.

  • The viewer of Insights Report will be able to drag it like a gltf and see it from different points of views.

Insights Report

Insights report will be available, shareable and visible for the Insight report viewer.
