What’s everyone using to simulate their proposed robot setups? Are you simply running the virtual machine on your workstation or do you use a dedicated hardware setup? Or are you using a physical UR controller to conduct your simulations? I’ve been using RoboDK to create a process simulation, but …

Running URSim on virtual machine is quite slow. I have installed URSim on Linux Mint 18.3 KDE and it works great. I think it is even more reliable than real robot (UR5 e-Series). RoboDK has installation files for Linux (Ubuntu).

Hi John,

I do not have a solid answer for the reason it would be slower. I am sure someone at UR will follow this up, but I have seen the simulation software run slow in the past, assigning more RAM to the VM fixed the issue for me.
