The primary objective of the software is to eliminate the costly "try-and-fail" method on the physical shop floor. Engineers utilize the platform to execute complete path planning, collision detection, and logic validation within a highly dynamic 3D simulation space. Key Capabilities of the 2301 Release
: A new "display camera envelope" command provides a 3D graphical representation of a virtual camera's detection range. This feature moves seamlessly with the camera in a simulation, making it much more efficient to position cameras for vision-based applications.
: Connects directly to PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) hardware to test code against the simulation. Human Simulation siemens tecnomatix process simulate 2301
Siemens has hinted that the 240x series will incorporate generative AI, where engineers simply type: "Generate a palletizing routine for 14 boxes in a 3x2x3 pattern," and the software writes the entire robot code. However, for now, remains the most stable, feature-rich version for industrial deployment.
For organizations considering deployment, it is important to note that Process Simulate version 2206 and Process Simulate 2301 use the same license as Process Simulate 17.0, simplifying the upgrade path for existing customers. License upgrades for future versions will be communicated at a later stage, providing continuity for enterprise planning. The primary objective of the software is to
The ecosystem works as follows:
Even with 2301, users often struggle with: This feature moves seamlessly with the camera in
: Automated tools calculate the most efficient collision-free paths for robotic arms. Signal Mapping
Version 2301 features an updated "Human Modeling" library. Safety standards (ISO/TS 15066) are baked into the simulation. You can now simulate a robot slowing down its speed profile as a human worker enters a defined shared workspace, validating the safety PLC logic virtually.
