Overview
Simulations in WINCAPS III are vital to fully utilizing the software. Simulations are commonly used for verification of robot reach, cycle times, and other feasibility scenarios. Please keep in mind that the simulation function is available with the Full version of WINCAPS III; it is not enabled in the Trial or light versions.
You can find the link to download WINCAPS III here. We also recommend reviewing our article on creating a new project prior to creating a simulation.

Step by Step Guide
Step 1Once you have a compiled project with no errors, you are ready to enter create your simulation. To enter simulation mode, go to Debug → Simulation Mode. | |
Step 2WINCAPS will now enter simulation mode, and you’ll see your toolbars change at the top. Here you will see labels for the following: | |
Step 3After clicking to start the selected task, you will receive a prompt to run a single cycle or continuously. You can choose either and click OK. | |
Step 4The selected task will now run, and you’ll see the executing line of code highlighted in yellow. | |
Step 5While running your simulation, you can also display the Arm 3D View, and watch the robot arm move through the motions. This is also applicable to viewing variables, and IO as the simulation is running | |
Step 6When finished with simulation mode, repeat step 1 above by clicking on Debug → Simulation Mode. This will return you to normal WINCAPS. | |
Step 7Some notes about WINCAPS Simulation:
