The Siemens Plant Simulation team recently modeled a layer of Social Distancing considerations for anticipating areas of concern associated with Worker traffic patterns. You may have seen the movie explaining the solution here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help you add that layer to your new or current models, we have packaged it into a Library that can be used with minimal effort.  Our team appreciates your investment in Siemens technology and will continue to look for ways to facilitate your productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find the Social Distancing Library in the .zip file on the Tecnomatix community, password SD. Follow this link to the community page. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, you can find a short movie demonstrating how the Library could be used with your current models: https:\/\/view.highspot.com\/viewer\/5ec45bfc030dc8359f4de20f<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would love to hear from you about enhancements or areas requiring attention. Please leave us a message below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The underlying concept is sampling the distance between every two workers at short intervals and alerting when the distance is smaller than a set value, for example 2.0 meters. To do so efficiently the Library makes use of the Generator, an object available with Plant Simulation Professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to have a Starter Model for the Standard license, let us know, we will send it to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please read the notes below as you apply the Plant Simulation for Social Distancing Library, available for Version 15.2.1 and later:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All code references current Frame and world coordinates. If used in other Frames current may need to be replaced with root (or other), and coordinates offset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlock the Frame if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drag and drop following objects from the Social Distancing Library to the current Frame.
1.         SocialDistancingGenerator
2.         RemoveViolationsGraphics
3.         NumberOfViolations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional: Replace Workers with WorkerWithPerimeter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double click SocialDistancingGenerator, open WorkerTable, add the Workers for which Social Distancing analysis is desired<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional: Modify the following SocialDistancingGenerator values:
Start
Stop
Interval
User-defined MinimumSocialDistance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make certain SocialDistancingGenerator is Active<\/p>\n\n\n\n
