First implementations of DMU/DPM path planner in the US and Japan
First implementations of DMU/DPM path planner in the US and Japan
A couple of weeks after the release of DMU Path Planner and DPM Path Planner, Delmia announced first implementations of the products in the US and Japan for mounting/ dismounting simulations.
The leading technology for automatic motion and path planning from Kineo Computer Aided Motion (Kineo CAM) has indeed been integrated with both CATIA DMU Fitting Simulator and DELMIA DPM Assembly Process Simulation (Figure 2).

With these new specialised products marketed by DELMIA, Dassault Systèmes brings significant advantages to DMU Fitting Simulation and DPM Assembly Process Simulation, due to its simplified user interface and increased reliability of the result path. Reusable computations and fast design validation will lead to time savings for users, as well as the ability to solve very complex situations:
- •
Forecasting accessibility issues of a mechanical assembly within 3D Digital Mock-up during the early stages of the engineering design will prevent costly bottlenecks later on.
- •
Documenting maintenance feasibility and manufacturing processes are no longer only internal requirements but also customers' requirements whatever their industrial field is.
- •
Studying Mounting and Dismounting activities serves both the “Time to Market” and “Service Quality” criteria of any industrial good.
DMU/DPM Path Planner provide tools for better addressing these activities thanks to automatic collision free motion and path planning.
The product workbench provides highly-efficient path planning commands for collision-free path planning to facilitate design, serviceability and manufacturability studies resulting in time savings due to faster computation times and improved quality of the planned path.
