Emulate3D Controls Testing for Machine Builders in SOLIDWORKS

Build Dynamic Digital Twins of your automation equipment directly in SOLIDWORKS. Emulate3D Controls Testing for Machine Builders is an Emulate3D SOLIDWORKS Add-in which enables you to create powerful controls testing models in SW, then run them in Emulate3D. Test out your PLC sequence logic before going onsite, and save time and money at commissioning.

This "CAD is the Model" concept extends the CAD system to include controls testing and operational prototyping of machines or systems, complete with product flows. Mark up your CAD (using the custom ribbon elements) within SOLIDWORKS to add industrially functional mechanisms complete with controller connections, and the model is exported at the click of a button to the Emulate3D run time environment where it can be run, tested, and debugged.

All Emulate3D models can be viewed within Virtual Reality environments, which enables them to be demonstrated and interacted with by one or more users in different offices or countries.
