Syllabus Virtual Manufacturing

This 6-credit course provides an introduction to virtual manufacturing and production simulation software. The course aims to teach students how to use simulation tools in production engineering for developing process layouts, workshop layouts, robot workcells, and production planning. Key skills developed include simulating robot workcells, assembly processes, and ergonomics evaluations. Assessment includes a written exam, laboratory exercises using simulation software, and a small project to further develop simulation skills.

Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission
requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the
programme, or corresponding.

Basic courses in Production Engineering, Machine Elements and CAD, and Industrial
Economics and Management. Knowledge of computerized controlled machines is useful
for the course.

Intended learning outcomes


This course covers production simulation as a tool during the development of process
layouts, workshop layouts, industrial robot work-cells and work stations and as a tool for
verification and visualization in production planning. The focus of the course is the
functionality of a simulation system/tool.
The aim of the course is to give basic knowledge so the student can use the department
simulation software in the production engineering courses when a project work is carried

out. After the course the student should be able to:


describe the possible use of geometry oriented simulation in the production
engineering area.
describe the functionality of a geometry oriented simulation system for use during
production engineering development in the area of robot simulations, assembly
simulations and ergonomic simulations.
to understand and use the technical vocabulary in the technical area.
The student should also be able to:
use a robot simulation system as an aid during development of industrial robot
work-cells and production systems containing products, processes and resources.
make analysis of robot reach, pose and collision with the aid of a simulation
system during production planning work.
create mechanisms in the simulation system for use in the planning work, for
example robot grippers and machine movements.
create simulation sequences for the simulation of a planned production system.
create an assembly simulation for a specific product.

Course content
Driving forces for the use of geometry oriented in planning of production system
planning. Industrial examples. Simulation of work-cells including industrial robots. The
areas of simulation are Assembly simulation, Ergonomic simulation, Simulation of
software and its functionality.

Teaching and working methods


The course is given in a one quarter study period. Lectures are given on geometry
oriented production simulation, software simulation and its functionality. The lectures are
given during the first weeks of the study period. The laboratory exercises will give an
insight in one commercial production simulation system. A small project is included in the
course to give further training in the simulation work.
