Mechanic Validation in the Digital Twin for Machines and
Systems

With NexaTwin's Mechanic Validation, you can test mechanical processes before the actual assembly of your machine or system. Collisions, critical movement areas, and problematic travel paths become visible in the digital twin, allowing risks to be identified earlier and costly damage to be avoided.

Overview

Early mechanical validation for more safety in the project

Mechanic Validation allows mechanical processes to be specifically verifiable in the digital twin. Movements of axes, actuators, and defined components can be analyzed, evaluated, and investigated for critical situations. This makes potential conflicts between components, travel paths, and system areas visible at an early stage. Especially in projects with complex movement sequences, the module helps to reduce mechanical uncertainties in advance and to prepare much better for real commissioning.

Core Functions

Overview of Mechanic Validation Functions

early

Targeted kinematic testing

Motions, axes, and travel paths can be realistically represented and evaluated at an early stage in the digital twin.

comprehensible

Visualize Collisions

Potential component collisions are detected early in the digital twin and clearly visualized before real damage occurs.

exactly

Analyze spaces of movement

Tracer functions can be used to precisely visualize volumes, operating points, and ranges of motion in order to safely evaluate clearances and critical areas.

Analyze

Unity Mode for Tests

Actuators and sensors can be specifically moved and observed in the digital twin even without a connected control system. This facilitates early mechanical tests and preliminary analyses.

Your Benefits

Why Mechanic Validation Pays Off in Projects

Mechanical movements and functions become visible, testable, and validatable at an early stage, even without control.

realistic

Clearly examine movements early on

Motion sequences, axes, and travel paths can be realistically evaluated in the digital twin even before the actual plant is built.

in time

Safely detect collisions in advance

Potential conflicts between components and system areas become visible early on, so that costly damage and mechanical problems are avoided in good time.

comprehensible

Safely Validate Motion Spaces

Clearance, end positions, and critical travel ranges can be specifically tested and documented reproducibly.

Security

Reducing risks on the construction site

Mechanical problems are already identified during virtual commissioning. This reduces rework, downtime, and unplanned on-site deployments.

Resilient

Prepare commissioning strategically

Mechanic Validation establishes a robust foundation for design, programming, and commissioning, improving alignment throughout the project. This beneficial direction is already clearly outlined on your current page.

Typical Applications

Typical Applications for Mechanic Validation

Mechanic Validation is particularly suitable for machines and systems with complex movements, tight installation spaces, or an increased risk of collision.

Examples:

Inspection of kinematics and travel paths in axes and handling systems
Analysis of potential collisions between components, grippers, cylinders, and system areas
Validation of movement areas and freedom of movement before physical setup
Preparation of mechanical processes for virtual and real commissioning
Early alignment between design, software, and commissioning for mechanically critical processes

User

Who the Layout Manager is particularly relevant for

This module is particularly interesting for:

Machinery and plant manufacturers
Designers
PLC programmer with VIBN expertise
Commissioning Engineer
Technical Service Providers
Teams looking to mitigate mechanical risks early on

Mechanic Validation as the next step after the Layout Manager

While the Layout Manager primarily creates structure, arrangement, and orientation within the digital twin, Mechanic Validation goes a step further into mechanical testing. Here, the focus is on real movements, kinematics, clearances, and collisions. Thus, the module bridges the gap between early layout representation and advanced virtual commissioning. Software Validation, LiveTwin, or HMI can then be built upon this foundation.
