iiQWorks.Sim

With iiQWorks.Sim, you can program, test, and optimize KUKA industrial robots and cobots offline – without interrupting ongoing production. The simulation software supports robot simulation, process validation, and virtual commissioning, helping you reduce risk, improve efficiency, and accelerate project implementation.

Virtual reality for real success: More efficient projects with simulation software

iiQWorks.Sim supports engineering teams throughout the entire project lifecycle – from planning and offline programming to virtual commissioning. Features such as fieldbus configuration, I/O mapping, Tech Packages, and SafeOperation enable the realistic simulation of complete robotic cells. Conveyor systems, sensors, and other peripheral equipment can be integrated directly into the 3D environment.

Combined with iiQKA.OS2, iiQWorks.Sim allows automation processes to be validated early, project risks to be reduced, and commissioning activities to be prepared more efficiently – helping teams accelerate project delivery and improve overall engineering productivity.

Planning confidence through digital twins

With iiQWorks.Sim, you can create a digital twin of your KUKA robotic system and evaluate automation concepts before implementation. Plan robotic cells, expand existing production systems, and validate processes for feasibility, reachability, and cycle-time performance in a virtual environment. Robot simulation provides a reliable foundation for technical decision-making and successful automation projects – before investments are made, equipment is modified, or commissioning begins.

How robot simulation supports every stage of your project

  • Plan automation concepts

    Design automated production systems efficiently and tailor them to your specific application requirements.

  • Validate feasibility early

    Verify robot programs, cell layouts, reachability, and cycle times in a virtual environment before implementation.

  • Program robots offline

    Create, test, and optimize robot programs without disrupting ongoing production operations.

  • Simulate production systems and material flow

    Model manufacturing systems, logistics processes, and interactions between simulation models and real-world operations.

Robot simulation and production system simulation made easy with iiQWorks.Sim

Manufacturers use simulation software to carry out virtual tests and improve robot programming already before operation. This helps to avoid errors and organize processes efficiently.

Modular software: Flexible, scalable and tailored to your needs

With iiQWorks.Sim, you can make use of a flexible and durable modular principle: In terms of modular software architecture, the free tool iiQWorks.Sim Basic can be expanded with iiQWorks.Sim Advanced by add-ons. This allows you to customize the robotic simulation software to your individual needs.

iiQWorks.Sim Basic: Get started with robot simulation at no cost

iiQWorks.Sim Basic is available free of charge and enables the configuration of KUKA robots as well as the digital representation of production environments. The entry-level version already supports basic simulations, 3D PDFs, videos, and virtual presentations, making it ideal for concept development, layout studies, and collaboration across engineering, project planning, and sales teams.

iiQWorks.Sim Advanced: Expanded capabilities for advanced engineering projects

iiQWorks.Sim Advanced allows you to extend the platform with application-specific add-ons. Whether you need CAD data preparation, system connectivity, offline programming, or advanced process simulation, the software scales with your technical requirements. This flexible approach ensures you invest only in the tools that support your simulation, engineering, and commissioning workflows.

iiQWorks.Sim Modeling: Optimize CAD data and create custom models

Refine and simplify imported data or model kinematics with the modeling add-on from iiQWorks.Sim Advanced. Customize your own CAD data and save them in the iiQWorks library. Reduce file sizes and improve the performance with automatic geometry simplification and automatic creation of simple 3D models.

iiQWorks.Sim Connectivity: Connect simulations to PLCs and external systems.

Use the iiQWorks.Sim Connectivity add-on to establish various connections to other systems, for example to a PLC. The connection can be established among other things via OPC-UA, a protocol. Or let your system talk to other software, for example the behavior simulations. They can display the response of components (such sensors) and transfer the information to iiQWorks.Sim using the defined format.
