Process Simulate 17

Process Simulate 17 Process Simulate 17 is Dassault Systèmes’s offline robot programming and simulation environment, giving engineers a single, coherent toolchain from project setup and configuration through programming, validation, and maintenance. It is aimed at robot programming teams that need dependable results on real production schedules, with a workflow that stays consistent from the first draft to the commissioned system.

Core Functions. External-axis management covers positioners, tracks, and turntables, and conveyor tracking aligns simulated and real transport speeds for realistic pick-and-place trials. Comprehensive robot and controller libraries include current and legacy models, so existing cells can be rebuilt, audited, and upgraded inside the same project. Full 3D work-cell modeling with accurate kinematics lets you place robots, fixtures, and peripherals and immediately verify reachability and cycle feasibility before any hardware is ordered. Multi-robot coordination supports synchronized and cooperative motion, automatic interference checking, and shared work-space management across cells. Virtual commissioning links simulated controller logic to the robot model, allowing full-system trials of PLC interaction, signaling, and fault recovery before installation. Built-in OLP editing, target management, and frame calibration tools keep teaching productive even on large programs with thousands of points. Cycle-time analysis highlights bottlenecks and suggests motion refinements, while collision detection with configurable safety zones protects people and equipment during validation. Path planning handles complex trajectories — weld seams, dispensing beads, and deburring contours — with consistent parameter control along the whole path. Documentation, training material, and example projects are included to shorten onboarding for new team members. Project templates and reusable libraries standardize repeat work, so every new job starts from proven material instead of a blank page. Integration interfaces connect the environment with surrounding engineering and enterprise systems, avoiding manual data transfers. Backward compatibility is respected, and migration helpers bring forward projects from previous product generations. Backup, restore, and archiving functions protect engineering data with configurable strategies suited to production environments. Scalable architecture serves small teams and multi-site engineering organizations with the same project discipline.

New in Version 17. Version 17 modernizes the licensing experience, simplifies installation, and continues the series’ compatibility commitments. Version 17 refines stability across the board and rolls in the accumulated fixes from earlier maintenance releases. New in version 17: faster project open and save on large programs, more responsive editors, and smoother device integration.

Supported Systems. System requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, 8 GB RAM minimum, 10 GB free disk space, and administrator rights for installation and device communication.

Only need the installer? Members can download the software installer alone with points on the companion page: Process Simulate 17 — download with points. The points download includes the installer only; it does not include the activation license or the installation tutorial videos.
