A simulation can be accomplished by adding a sequence of instructions in a program. Each instruction represents specific code for a specific controller, however, RoboDK offers a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to easily build robot programs, in a generic way, without the need to write code.

The code specific to a robot controller will be generated automatically when the program is generated. To create a new empty program using the RoboDK Graphical User Interface:

1.SelectProgram➔Add Program
Alternatively, select the corresponding button in the toolbar.

2.SelectTools➔Rename item… (F2)to rename the program

Note: Programs are automatically created if an instruction is added but there is no program available in the station.

This action will create an empty program and will allow adding new instructions by right clicking the program or selecting an instruction from theProgram menu. The next sectionProgram Instructionsprovides more information about adding instructions.

Note: Simulations and programs can also be fully created using the RoboDK API and a specific programming language, such as Python, C# or Matlab. TheRoboDK APIsection provides more information.
