Demo3D

Application/ benefit

Demo3D provides a user-friendly and interactive virtual reality environment for the animation of production and logistics facilities. Thereby all movements and material flows can be represented truthfully. Taking into account physical properties such as gravity, friction, mass inertia etc. facilitates a true-to-life representation of reality. Furthermore the user can decide himself whether he would like to represent plants in technical detail right through to photoelectric relay and propulsion level or whether he would prefer to move on a more abstract level.

Thereby modelling of the following elements in particular is supported:

  • Conveyor technology (continuous conveyors and discontinuous conveyors)
  • Warehouse technology (automatic high rack warehouses, manual warehouses)
  • Sorters (sliding sorters, tilt-tray sorters)
  • Floor conveyors (fork-lift trucks, driverless transport systems)
  • Production machines (robots, milling machines, turning machines)
  • Machine operators (processing, transport, order picking)

Structure / modules

The development of animation models is carried out with the aid of predefined elements from so-called catalogues. The animated plant can then be walked or flown through from all angles. Furthermore videos can be produced from any desired camera angle.

As users can have very different requirements of Demo3D, 4 editions based on one another exist:

Demo3D Presenter:

Display and animation of existing models

Demo3D Standard:

Model generation with the aid of the elements defined in the standard catalogue

Demo3D Professional:

Extended model generation options through additional and specific catalogues

Demo3D Enterprise:

Model generation and creation of separate catalogues, programming option for specific processes

Integration / interfaces

In the Standard edition export into the simulation software AutoMod is possible.

The Professional and Enterprise editions facilitate reading in 3D-objects in the formats DXF, 3DS, STL, OBJ. The generated animation model in return can be exported as DXF.

Manufacturers / supply

The manufacturer is the company Demo3D in Great Britain. SimPlan is the official distributor for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Complementary to the software, support contracts can be agreed and respective simulation services booked.
