Abstract
A simulation apparatus acquires a position and an operating speed in each drive axis of the robot at a set point set for each minute section of a motion path of the robot when an operation program of a robot is executed. The simulation apparatus comprises a stop position estimation part that estimates a stop position where the robot is stopped after moving by inertia in each dive axis, based on the position in each drive axis of the robot, the operating speed in each drive axis, and the weight of the work tool, when an emergency stop of the robot is performed at the set point. The simulation apparatus comprises a swept space calculation part that calculates a swept space of three-dimensional models of the robot and the work tool based on the stop position.
