Hello,

I want to create robot interference zone (Swept volume) according to the path. Kindly help me in this case. For an example how it will be viewed robot envelope similarly its a requirement .

It will be great if anyone could help me in this case… 🙂

What do you mean by ‘swept volume’?

When we play the simulation I want to save the trajectory of the robot as 3D data, Its for to ensure the clearance between the robots.

That is a quite difficult problem to solve. Is it not enough to use collision detection?

Nope, I want this as a separate 3D data to save it. Do you thing is it possible to do take the interference data?

You have to go to RobotApps in RS and downlaod Smart Component called “PartTrace”.
