2.4.2 Exercise 2: Expanding the Model
In this chapter, you will expand the Simple Workstation project created in the previous chapter with two other Process Resources. Feel free to discuss the exercise with other participants. If you have any questions or face any difficulties, do not hesitate to ask your trainer.
Download Section
The 3D CAD files required for this exercise can be downloaded here. Unzip the file and copy the contents to the same Simple Workstation library folder in your SystemRoot\Libraries directory.
Exercise Details
- In order to do this exercise, you need to complete the Exercise 1: Simple Workstation. Open the Simple Workstation project in Process Designer and load the Simple Workstation study.
- You will need to add the following objects in the existing library. Assign the additional 3D models from your SystemRoot\Libraries directory to your object prototypes in Part Library and Resource Library accordingly. Make sure you choose the right object type for each of the objects.
- Part Library: Box 2, Box 3, and Small Box
- Resource Library: Box Rack, Container, Desk, and Workbench.
- Rename the existing Process Resource to Process Resource 1 in the Resource Tree and the Process operation to Process 1 in the Operation Tree.
- Expand the model from the previous chapter by adding two twin Process Resources, containing following object instances:
- Process Resource 2: Box Gripper, Container, Conveyor, Robot 2 (Kawasaki UZ100), and Robot Base,
- Process Resource 3: Box Rack, Desk, Human Model (Jill), Small Box, and Workbench.
- Move the resource instances Human (Jack) and Cart from the compound Process Resource 1 into the compound Process Resource 3.
- Two twin Process operation (Process 2 and Process 3) should be created automatically. Move the Human Operation from the compound operation Process 1 into the compound operation Process 3.
Place the objects in the Graphic Viewer accordingly, so that at the end of the exercise, you get a final layout of your Simple Workstation study similar to the following figure. Save the updated study data of the project and create snapshots of different states of the study, so that you can restore it later to previous state. It is recommended, that you create a snapshot for each of the Process Resource and for the complete model.
