Ideas requested: How to simulate component degradation?
Posted: 20 Jan 2022, 15:52
Dear Community,
I am currently considering using CoppeliaSim for my research in predictive maintenance for discrete manufacturing equipment. I have already done some tests with CoppeliaSim and got some intuition for the simulator. The first impression is that it could be a good fit.
Now I am thinking how to model component wear with CoppeliaSim in a meaningful way.
Let's take a pick & place usecase as an example. How could the wear of a robot (e.g. bearing, motor) or a conveyor belt be modeled? For example, one approach would be to dynamically vary the speed of the conveyor belt because the belt might stretch.
I would like to ask you for suggestions on the topic, because you are the experts in the simulation field. Do you have any ideas on how to simulate the wear of components in CoppeliaSim?
Thank you very much in advance!
Simon
