Which simulator tool is best for Universal Robots. I know RoboDK and Simumatik can be used. Are there others as well?
UR has a simulation VM if you want to write programs/scripts in the polyscope enviroment from your desktop.
RoboDK is a fairly cheap, (free if you dont need advanced features) software that can load stp / cad files and interact. Its not very refined, but support forums and examples are available.
delfoi, octopuz, and Visual components are full simulation tools that are expensive and very powerful. If you want to simulate an entire line or environment this would be the way to go. If you are only doing reach studies and cycle time estimates they are overkill.
