Pairing Tecnomatix Process Simulate provided by Siemens with RTR’s RapidPlan will provide users the ability to generate collision-free paths generated by RapidPlan that can be simulated and recorded in Process Simulate and later deployed to the robots on the shop floor. This further eases customers' pain points when deploying industrial robots by enhancing productivity and maximizing the benefits of robotics with the click of a button.

...
Weld guns with joint dependencies that have no limits is not supported.
There are some limitations on joint dependencies, such as those used in the kinematics of a weld gun. A list on unsupported functions can be found in the Appendix.
There are cases when PS can report collision while RTR may not have any collisions. Refer to FAQ for resolution.
Communication between Process Simulate and Realtime is one-way (i.e. moving the robot from Process Simulate will reflect in Realtime Control webapp, but not the other way around).
Setting the working frame of the study >500m may have a negative impact on the motion planning results and can result in planning getting stuck. Advise to add a working frame close to the cell.
Robots with 7-axis is not supported with the RP plugin.
Exporting fails from Process Simulate for studies involving appearances/objects without geometries.
For limitations on the Process Simulate side, please refer to the Tecnomatix Process Simulate 2307 2402 EAP documentation.
Licensing
The license for RapidPlan will be included as part of the licensing package you purchased from Siemens which treats RapidPlan as a plug-in. This can be in the form of a license file or server license.
