Delmia Glossary __exclusive__ Page

But don’t worry. Whether you are a simulation engineer, a manufacturing planner, or just a curious student, this glossary will help you speak the language of the virtual factory.

This is the "operating system" that runs modern DELMIA. It’s a cloud-connected, collaborative environment where everyone (designers, engineers, managers) works on the same live 3D data. Note: Older versions (V5/V6) work differently, but 3DX is the future. delmia glossary

A single unit of work. It could be "Pick up screw," "Move to location A," or "Weld seam #4." But don’t worry

How many products your simulated factory can make per hour. DELMIA uses discrete event simulation (changing a belt speed, adding a worker) to optimize throughput. It could be "Pick up screw," "Move to

The digital 3D model of a human inside the software. You can adjust its height, gender, and percentile (e.g., "5th percentile female" vs "95th percentile male") to test ergonomics for all body types. The Virtual Factory Floor 7. Workcell A specific area on the factory floor where a set of operations happens. For example, a "Welding Workcell" contains the robot, the safety fence, the parts bin, and the weld gun.

The primary user of DELMIA. This person decides how a product should be built. They create the assembly sequence and assign tasks to workers or robots.

The process of telling a digital robot how to move. You don't just place a robot; you define its joints, limits, speeds, and kinematics (how the arm bends).
