[Fl...] Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Hello everyone, What is the minimal requirement for an offline planner seat, in 7.4 version ? I don't see any information... Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Lu...] Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 (edited) Hello, There is not a planner specific requirement. This is the minimum system requirement listed in the 7.4 release notes: Edited September 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ka...] Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Hi Florent, I strongly recommend taking your time to try out the software as a trial version first. We use the Planner intensively and, if all goes well, we can achieve perhaps 80% realistic simulation. There are at least two handfuls of pitfalls and problems. The investment in Planner/Simulation should be carefully considered. Unfortunately, the new Planner development in CALYPSO 8.0 is so desolate that it is not (yet) usable.

[Br...] Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Most important requirement that people/IT fails to recognize is the need for the NVIDIA OpenGL graphics card. This is a must, especially for planner. The graphics card must be set correctly. the Base profile is the standard setting, but the 3d setting should be set to "autodesk motion builder compatible" . For information on how to set this, please follow the Knowledge Base link below: https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=528774 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Fl...] Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 Hello, Simulation is the "cherry on the cake" for me. The emergency is to have the possibilty of programming on my desk, not on CMM (they are very busy...). I know that the simulation is not excellent, but it can be helpfull if it work a little 😉 Thanks for your answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Wo...] Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Simulation is great - when it works 😉 I've had some big manifolds that I was able to program (over 2k dimensions) and then completely test with simulation before the setup was finished on the CNC machine, with practically all kinks ironed out.

[Ka...] Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Please sign in to view this quote. Yes, absolutely. But that's exactly where the problem lies! If it works... Apart from poor stability, the lack of a physical environment for many CMM machines, interfering geometries, XXT probe trees, etc., the results of the simulation are simply not reliable. Too often, collisions, shaft probing or contact with the XXT sensor are not detected. Likewise, reliable simulation of the measuring space is more a matter of luck. In general, the central task, namely 100% correct identification of collisions of any kind, is not implemented. The software is sufficient for preliminary work at the offline workstation, but no more than that. And for the price of around €30,000 per workstation, it is rather inadequate.

[Jo...] Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Simulation is too broken in 2025 to use. i dont know why they even keep the option in the menu. (does it work for anyone?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Jo...] Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Actually.... The 0404 service patch seems to have fixed my simulation issues! Will test next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Fl...] Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 Hello, thanks for your feedback! Sorry for my bad english, I'm french so very bad with foreign languages 😁 My boss just approved the purchase a planner license... via Doogle. Why an old-fashioned Doogle, and not via ZLMT? I have no idea; he always choose a non-standard solution for everything anyway, which we're used to here... 😁 Anyway, I told him that the simulation (planner) will probably be imperfect, and he replied that it will give him a reason to negotiate other things in the future (maybe a curve licence). That's one way of looking at it : always think about future opportunities.😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Fl...] Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 *Dongle, not Doogle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 We have a machine with dongle, but i believe for this type you will obtain it. If you copy license keys to other pcs then you can tranfer easily dongle to work elsewhere. And i don't think this is obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ka...] Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Please sign in to view this quote. Hi Florent, Yes, that's also been my frustrating experience with French management (bosses) over the years. They decide something and if it doesn't work, the world has to change so that it does work. In the end, you have to live with the planner and try to make this desolate piece of software useful somehow. Good luck and don't give up hope for improvement. 🙂 About licences: The modern approach would be a floating licence. However, Zeiss does not (yet) offer this. It is therefore irrelevant whether it is tied to a computer via a dongle or via the CPU ID. Best Regards Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Je...] Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Please sign in to view this quote. Dongle is far from obsolete. Much of the US uses dongle due to its reliability and flexibility (greater than 90% of users are dongle based) . It also utilizes ZLMT to activate as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Wo...] Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Please sign in to view this quote. I think 90% of users are dongle based because it's the best available option atm. I would still say a floating license for planner would make it more flexible. Somebody else needs to use Planner? Just release the license from my computer and they can use it on their station. No need to unplug and plug the dongle that can get damaged this way. I believe our Siemens NX works this way and it's just better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
