© 2022 SiemensImportant New and Changed Features
We made important changes in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2201. For this reason you have to adapt
simulation models which you created in previous versions of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, when you
open them in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2201.
Important New and Changed Features in Plant Simulation 2201
• We adapted the look and feel of Plant Simulation 2201 to the look and feel of the Siemens Digital
Industry Software applications.
We changed the icons of the ribbon bar of Plant Simulation 2201.
We changed the control elements of trees of Plant Simulation 2201 structures and dialogs. We
replaced the plus (+) and minus (-) signs to open and close a tree with an arrow > and we removed
the dotted lines leading to sub-trees.
• We removed the General Ribbon Tab from the Frame in 2D and distributed the commands over the
Frame Ribbon Tab and the View Ribbon Tab.

© 2022 Siemens• We changed the file extension of lists and DataTables that you export as an object file. They now
have the file extension *.pslist making it easy to tell if the saved object contains the contents of a list.
In previous versions it had the file extension *.psobj.
Important New and Changed Features in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We added the storage format Folder Model (*.psfm). It allows you to use a version control system
for storing and managing your simulation models. To do so, select the command Save Folder Model
As on the File menu.
• We added the object MQTT. You can use it to transmit data over the Internet from device to device.
You can, for example, connect automated guided vehicles (AGVs) with a control system or a fleet
manager.

Simulation and Animation Relevant Changes
We made changes that are relevant for the simulation and the animation in Tecnomatix Plant
Simulation 2201. For this reason you have to adapt simulation models, which you created in previous
versions of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, when you open them in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2201.
Simulation- and Animation-Relevant Changes in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We removed the check box Delete MUs on reset from the EventController. Plant Simulation now
always deletes MUs when resetting the simulation.
To adapt models from previous versions with the setting
EventController.DeleteMUsOnReset := false for version 16.1, you might have to create
the required MUs in an init method, for example like this:
if Track.Empty
var TR := .MUs.Transporter.create(Track, 5)
TR.Speed := 2
end
• We changed the behavior of Plant Simulation. Methods which are registered with the function
setMUTraceRouteMethod are now removed from the Registry when you reset the EventController.
Each model now has to register its Methods anew when initializing the model. This prevents that
Methods are executed for a model, which does not use setMUTraceRouteMethod which were
registered by another model.

New Features of the Material Flow Objects
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2201 provides a number of new features.
Simulation and Animation Relevant Changes
, Plant Simulation 2201 1-3
© 2022 SiemensNew Features in Plant Simulation 2201
• We added settings for the Distance control of the Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV):
• Length and ΔWidth of Zone1.
• Length and ΔWidth of Zone2.
• We added these read-only attributes to the mobile objects:
FrontLocationInMovingDirection
FrontPosInMovingDirection
RearLocationInMovingDirection
RearPosInMovingDirection
• We added the read-only attribute OriginRoot. It returns the root object of the inheritance chain if the
object was inherited across several levels.
New Features in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We added the method getCurrentOrderTableRow to the Source.
• We extended the behavior of the DataTables for the MU selection of the Source. Instead of a
reference you can now also create a copy of the DataTable by assigning the name .unshare to the
sub-table.
• We added the setting Go to default position to the Converter.
• We extended the behavior of the DismantleStation. To allow the Worker to carry the detached parts
to their target station, we added the tab Importer > Transport. As in previous versions the target is
determined in the Dismantle Table or the setting Main MU to successor with number. If you do
enter a MU target on the tab Transport, the Worker carries all parts to this target and ignores the
settings mentioned above.
• We extended the behavior when moving MUs. You can now also move MUs between Conveyors with
different conveying directions. In doing so Plant Simulation switches the conveying direction of the
MU.
This only works when you move the MU with the method move when you specify the parameter
Position. This does not work when automatically moving the MU along Connectors and when calling
the method move without the parameter Position.
Compare these examples:
@.move(Conveyor, 0)
// moves the MU from the beginning of a backward-conveying Conveyor
// to the beginning of a forward-conveying Conveyor

© 2022 [email protected](Conveyor, -1)
// moves the MU from the end of a forward-conveying Conveyor
// to the end of a forward-conveying Conveyor
• We extended the behavior of the List (Type) distribution. You can now also use the asterisk * for the
MU type. In addition to the DataTable with two columns you can now also use a DataTable with four
columns.
• We added the read-only attribute PositionAbs to the sensors of the length-oriented objects.
• We added the method reverse to the length-oriented objects.
• We added the statistics value Average dwell time to the tab Statistics. You can also query the value
with the read-only attribute StatAverageDwellTime.
For the DismantleStation the read-only attribute StatAverageDwellTime returns the average dwell
time of the main parts.

Changed Features of the Material Flow Objects
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2201 provides a number of changed and improved features.
Changed Features in Plant Simulation 2201
• We changed the behavior of automatic routing of Part and Container via Converters.
In Plant Simulation 16.1 and older all Conveyors connected to the Converter were considered,
independent of the insertion direction of the Conveyors. If the computed shortest route to the
destination led via a Converter and from there to the end of a Conveyor, you had to employ a method
in which you switched the conveying direction of the Conveyor.
From Plant Simulation 2201 onwards automatic routing only considers Conveyors which are
connected with the Converter in forward direction. This means that automatic routing now assumes
that the Conveyors always convey parts in the forward direction.
• We changed the behavior of MUs with activated automatic routing.
If you assign a value to the attribute RouteWeightingAttr, Plant Simulation now automatically recomputes the destination.
• We changed the behavior of the method getRouteLength of the Transporter. For a Transporter that is
not bound to fixed route network it now returns the length of the route, which you set, for example,
with the methods setRoute or setRouteSegments.
For a Transporter that is not bound to fixed route network you do not have to specify any parameters.
• We enhanced the behavior of the Start delay duration of the Transporter. It now also applies to
Transporters that drive freely within the space of the model.
Changed Features of the Material Flow Objects
, Plant Simulation 2201 1-5
© 2022 Siemens• We changed the behavior of the method setWorldPosition of the Transporter. It now also rotates the
AGV into the correct direction.
• We changed the behavior of MUs that are created on a station for which Automatic processing is
deactivated. They are no longer ready to exit without being processed, compare the read-only
attribute Finished.
• We changed the behavior of the method mu. It now returns the last MU if you call the method for
length-oriented objects with the parameter -1.
• We changed the behavior of the method muPart. It now returns the last MU part if you call the
method for length-oriented objects with the parameter -1.
Changed Features in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We removed the check box Delete MUs on reset from the EventController. Plant Simulation now
always deletes MUs when resetting the simulation.
To adapt models from previous versions with the setting
EventController.DeleteMUsOnReset := false for version 16.1, you might have to create
the required MUs in an init method, for example like this:
if Track.Empty
var TR := .MUs.Transporter.create(Track, 5)
TR.Speed := 2
end
• We changed the behavior when you manually delete the EventController. If you do so, Plant
Simulation now resets the simulation model before deleting it.
• We changed the behavior when you click Single Step Simulation in the EventDebugger. In previous
versions Plant Simulation also stopped when formulas were executed. This is no longer the case. To
also debug formulas, hold down Ctrl and then click the button.
As formulas are often used in objects of type Display it was not desirable that Plant Simulation always
stopped here.
• We changed the behavior of processing time based failures of the ParallelStation: The activated
setting Start processing when full does no longer affect the number of failures when a large
number of parts are being processed simultaneously.
• We changed the behavior of times for which you can set an empirical distribution in a subtable, for
example the Processing time or the Set-up time. Plant Simulation now uses the common format in
all subtables if you activated Common format and click Yes in the message dialog.
• We changed the behavior of the DismantleStation: The parts are now ready to leave the station after
an interruption (pause, failure) in the same sequence as before the interruption.
1. Whats New in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2201
1-6 , Plant Simulation 2201
© 2022 Siemens• We changed the behavior of the method getIdleAGV. It now only checks if the attribute IsIdle of an
AGV is set to true. It no longer checks if the AGV is still located on a route
• We made the attribute FwBlockListEntry1 observable.
• We changed what Plant Simulation keeps when setting the conveying direction: In in previous
versions the booking point was retained, from now on Plant Simulation retains the front position in
the direction of movement.
• We changed the behavior when moving MUs via SimTalk. Plant Simulation now enters the MU into
the blocking list when you specify 0 as the position or the length of the object.
When you move an MU moving in reverse with the method move to the position 0 onto a lengthoriented object, the MU is no longer moved to the end of the object.
• We changed the behavior of the length-oriented objects. Their length is now limited to 10,000 km.

New and Changed Features of the Fluid Objects
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2201 provides a number of new and improved features.
New and Changed Features in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We added the object PatchMatrix. You can use it to connect an entrance pipe with an exit pipe.
• We added the check box Transparent/the attribute Transparent to the tab Curve of the Pipe.
• We enhanced the behavior of the DePortioner. The setting Before actions is now also available for
the Entrance control.
• We enhanced the behavior of the Mixer. When you enter -1 for a recipe into the column Product
Amount of the MaterialsTable of the Mixer, Plant Simulation assumes the sum of all ingredients as
the Product Amount. You only have to explicitly specify the Product Amount if mixing the
ingredients increases or decreases the volume, i.e., if the Product Amount is not the sum of the
ingredients.

• We added the method getAssignedWorker to the WorkerPool.
• We added the read-only attribute NumAssignedWorkers to the WorkerPool.
• We added the method getAssignedAGV to the AGVPool.
• We changed the behavior of Workers for whom AutomaticMediation is deactivated. If the method
goto is called when the parameter ReservedExclusively has the value true, meaning that it reserves
the Workplace, Plant Simulation checks if the Workplace still has available Capacity. If all places of
the Workplace are either occupied or reserved, Plant Simulation shows an error message.
• We added the read-only attribute ResCurrentState to the Worker.
• We enhanced the behavior of the Workplace. Its Capacity is now observable.
• We changed the behavior of the read-only attribute EntranceFree of the Workplace. It now also
returns false when the capacity is exhausted by the assigned Workers, who are still en route.
New and Changed Features in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We added the method getWorkingWorkersTable to the WorkerPool.
• We changed the return value of the method receptive of the Workplace. It now also returns false
when there are assigned Workers who still are on their way.
• We changed the behavior of the Worker who is automatically mediated. He now does not return to
the WorkerPool when he changes to the state paused or unplanned.
• We changed the behavior of the Importer request control of the Broker. It no longer interrupts
Methods that are being executed at the moment. The control will now only be executed after the
current call chain has been terminated. This change also prevents importer requests from overtaking
each other.
Compare this example:
1. The processing importer of Station2 cannot be satisfied because the Worker is already working
at Station1.
2. Station1 finishes processing the part. The Worker is released and the exit control of Station1 is
called. Only after the exit control is terminated the importer request control for Station2 is
called.
3. The exit control of Station1 moves the part to Station3. In previous versions now the exit
control was interrupted and the importer request control for Station3 was called. The Worker
was mediated to Station3 although the importer of Station2 has been waiting longer.

© 2022 Siemens4. In Plant Simulation 16.1 the importer request control does not interrupt the exit control any
more. After terminating the exit control the importer request control for Station2 is called and
then the importer request control for Station3.
• We enhanced the behavior of the method schedule of the ShiftCalendar. In previous versions it could
only schedule 10 years into the future, in the current version it can schedule 100 years.

New and Changed Features of the Information Flow Objects
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2201 provides a number of new and improved features.
New and Changed Features in Plant Simulation 2201
• We added the Secure File Mode to the Teamcenter Interface.
• We changed the behavior of the method retrieveData of the Teamcenter Interface. It now only has
the parameter SyncNo. It does no longer support the parameter XMLFileName. If you do need the
XML file, you have to create an instance of the DataTable, to which the data from Teamcenter
Interface were imported, with the method writeXMLFile. We also removed the return value from the
method.
• We added the command Save Session Log to the MQTT Interface.
• We added the attribute DirectItemAccess to the OPCUA Interface.
• We added the method read to the FileInterface.
• We extended the behavior of Plant Simulation when searching in the list editor. You can now search
again for the last search item starting at the selected cell by pressing F3.
• We extended the behavior of the function openObjectSelectBox. You can now also pass as the Filter
the string, which the read-only attribute InternalClassType returns. This string is the unique built-in
English name that describes the type of the object.
• We changed the file extension of lists and DataTables that you export as an object file. They now
have the file extension *.pslist making it easy to tell if the saved object contains the contents of a list.
In previous versions it had the file extension *.psobj.
• We changed the behavior of the method getAttribute if the name of a user-defined attribute of data
type method is passed to the method.
In previous versions getAttribute called the user-defined method and returned the result of the
method call.
From version 2201 on getAttribute does not call the method any longer but returns the method itself.

Station.getAttribute("MyMethodAttribute", bInherited)
-- does not call MyMethodAttribute any more
If you would like to get the result of the method call instead of the method, you have to explicitly call
the method:
Station.getAttribute("MyMethodAttribute").execute
New and Changed Features in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We added the MQTT interface.
• We extended the functionality of the OPCUA interface.
• You can now also enter the path to an attribute into column 5 of OPC-Items tables. Previously you
could only enter objects of type Method, Variable, and CheckBox.
• OPC items, which are connected with an attribute, a Variable, or a CheckBox, can now align the
attribute value in both directions. Previously only value changes were written to the Variable or the
CheckBox or a callback method was called. Now a changed value of an attribute, a Variable, or a
CheckBox will be transmitted to the OPC server if a write interval that is not 0 is set for the group.
• We added the read-only attribute Encrypted to the Method and to the user-defined attributes of data
type Method.
• We added the button Unshare to the text box Value of the Variable. In SimTalk you could already
accomplish this with the method unshare.
• We added the column Parameter to the Tab Call Stack of the Method Debugger.
• We added additional Method templates to the dialog Select Template, an error handler method
among others.
• We replaced the dialog Replace in the Method Editor with the Find dialog. Search and replace are
now combined in one dialog instead of being spread across two dialogs. In this context we also
removed the button Replace on the Edit ribbon tab and replaced the command Replace with Find
on the Edit menu of the Method Debugger.
• We extended the behavior of Plant Simulation. You can now also Catch runtime errors in formulas.
• We unified and improved the coloring of rows in the DataTable.
• We changed the behavior of the Trigger. When you insert a Trigger into a Frame, Plant Simulation
now automatically deactivates inheritance in the Values Table.

• We added the method getHtmlCode to the GanttChart.
• We replaced the method setRGB of the Chart with the method setColor.
We replaced the methods getBValue, getGValue, and getRValue of the Chart with the method
getColor.
• We changed the behavior of the object Checkbox. Its control is now only called when the value
changes when you click the object. In addition Plant Simulation only calls the control of the object
itself, not of instances of the object as in previous versions.
New and Changed Features in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We added the key word %modelingview to the HtmlReport, compare Display a Picture of a 3D
Scene.
• We changed the arguments for creating a 3D view of a 3D scene in the HtmlReport, compare Display
a Picture of a 3D Scene.
Combinations of camera position and/or camera rotation with the keyword %planningview are now
invalid as specifying a camera position/camera rotation and the keyword exclude each other. In
previous versions Plant Simulation created a planning view when you used the keyword and ignored
the camera position/camera rotation.

• We added the command Go VR to the View Ribbon Tab. With it you can immerse yourself in the 3D
scene with a VR headset.
• We added the respective 3D context menu commands to the Context Menu of the Selected Object
in the Frame.
• We added the command Move Transformations to Graphics to the Context Menu of a Graphic in
the 3D Graphic Structure.
• We added the button Show All Possible States to the tab States.
• We added the command Generate HTMLReport-Code and Copy to Clipboard.
• We added the method createExtrusionGraphic.

• We changed the behavior when editing the material of an extrusion configuration with the outdated
SimTalk access or by opening the dialog Edit 3D Properties for one of the automatically generated
graphics of the length-oriented object to be changed.
We do not allow this any longer. Instead edit the extrusion configuration itself.
• We changed the behavior when importing 3D graphics file types for which Plant Simulation uses
Parasolid, except for Jt, VRML, DXF, DGN, and DWG. We now use Parasolid-Version 33.1.247.

© 2022 Siemens• We changed the behavior of Camera Marks.
• When you hold down Shift and click Marks on the View ribbon tab, Plant Simulation now enters
the name of the first existing camera mark into the text box Name of the dialog Mark Current
Camera Settings.
• When you create a camera mark with the current view in the active open window, Plant Simulation
now overwrites an existing camera mark if the name already belongs to an existing camera mark.
Changed Features in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We extended the behavior of 3D. The height of the manipulators of the length-oriented objects now
also go by the width of the conveyor. This makes using objects in a tubular shape easier, for example
the Pipe, compare Show Manipulators.
• We extended the behavior of 3D. If an object does not have any state graphics and Show states as
colors if no state graphics are present is on, Plant Simulation now shows more states in color than
before.
In previous versions it showed the states listed below. If an object was in several states at the same
time, Plant Simulation only showed the first state:
• Paused
• Failed
• Blocked
From this version on it shows these states:
• Unplanned
• Paused
• Failed
• Blocked
• Setting-up
This is especially helpful for analyzing models containing length-oriented objects.
• We extended the behavior of the method _3D.Poses.moveTo. If the object is to move to a pose
named "init" and no pose with that name exists, the object now moves to an implicit pose which
sets all animatable objects of the object designated by <Path> to 0.
Changed 3D Features
, Plant Simulation 2201 1-13
© 2022 Siemens• We extended the behavior of the Add Animatable Object. You can not set if the new animatable
object is to be length-oriented.
The method _3D.addObject provides the optional parameter Lengthoriented to accomplish this.
• We extended the behavior of non-automatically generated graphic groups. The Context Menu of a
Graphic in the 3D Graphic Structure now offers the command Optimize. When you select it, Plant
Simulation opens a suitable window, highlights the graphic and opens the dialog Optimize Selected
Graphic.
• We changed the behavior of state groups. You can no longer edit state graphics, but only generate
them. For this reason they do not have to be saved in the model any longer which saves time and
memory. The dialog Show Graphic Structure does not show state graphics any more.
If you created your own state graphics in a previous version of the model, Plant Simulation will save
them to the graphic group oldStateGraphics so that you can continue using them.
• We changed the behavior of 3D: Captions, path visualizations and some display objects, such as the
Variable, the Comment, etc. now no longer cast a shadow.
• We changed the German name of the attribute _3D.AniGravitationsModus to
_3D.Schwerkraftmodus / _3D.AniGravityMode.
• We renamed the attribute _3D.MUAnimationAreaSize to _3D.MUAnimationAreaSizeRelative.
• We renamed the attribute _3D.MUAnimationAreaCenter to _3D.MUAnimationAreaCenterRelative.

• We added a number of Functions for Communicating with an HTTP Server.
• We added the conversion function bytes_to_str.
• We added the function calcBrakingDistance.
• We added the function regex_search2.
• We changed the behavior of Plant Simulation: You can assign values of data type object to variables
of data type string or to attributes of data type string. If the value contains an object reference, the
absolute path will be assigned with a leading asterisk (*). If the value contains a relative or an
absolute path, this path is assigned.

• We enhanced the behavior of Plant Simulation: You can now call init methods with a parameter of
data type integer.
During the init phase now the init controls are called first and then the init methods with parameters.
This parameter has the value 1 here.
Then the objects are initialized.
After that the init methods with or without parameter are called. Init methods with parameter are
passed the value 2 here.
New and Changed Features in Plant Simulation 16.1
• We added a feature allowing you to address a name-value-pair via an integer index for a local variable
of data type JSON. This allows you to iterate across all name-value-pairs. You always have to either
select the name or the value from such a name-value-pair by appending Name or Value respectively.
• We added the method getOrCreateJSON to the variables of data type JSON.
• We added the function isJson.
• We extended the behavior of the functions isValidDateString, isValidDateTimeString, str_to_date,
and str_to_dateTime. They now also support parts of the ISO8601 date format.
• You can now also specify the date like this: "YYYY/MM/DD", "YYYY-MM-DD", and
"DD.MM.YYYY".
• You can now also specify a date containing a time like this: "YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.s",
"YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.s", and "DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS.s". You can replace the blank
space between date and time with the letter T "DD.MM.YYYYTHH:MM:SS.s".
• We added the function make2DimArray to the arrays.
• We added the function readStringFromFile.
• We added the function writeStringToFile.

• We added the Cloud Ribbon Tab to the ribbon bar.
• We moved the command Open Frame in 2D/3D from the Home ribbon tab to the Windows ribbon
tab.
• We changed what the anonymous identifier ? in the condition of a breakpoint in the EventDebugger
accesses. From now on it accesses the sender of the event. In previous versions it accessed the
EventController. You can still reach the EventController with the instruction
root.EventController.
• We enhanced the behavior when you start Plant Simulation with the start option /logfile. The
created log file now contains a time stamp per line.
• We terminated support for DDE in version 16.0. In version 2201 we no longer automatically start the
DDE-Server in Plant Simulation.
It only starts when you call the function initDDE. The DDE-Server is only reachable with the name you
passed in initDDE.
• We changed the behavior of the function LoadModel of the COM Interface. It does no longer load

• We added the command Save Folder Model As to the File menu.
• We changed the behavior when you turn off animation by clicking MU and Icon Animation. From
this version on Plant Simulation deselects all objects that were selected in 2D.
• We adjusted the color scheme of Plant Simulation to the color scheme of the Tecnomatix products.
• We added a gradient to the title bar of the active Plant Simulation window and to the ribbon bar.
• We colored the buttons in the dialogs of the objects white. The default button is still in color.
• We made the desktop background color gray again.
• We made the color of the status bar white again.
• We color every second row different in the dialog that shows the break points.
• We removed the toolbars from the dialogs of the GARangeAllocation, the GASelection, the
GASequence, the GASetAllocation, the TimeSequence, and the value pairs in the Trigger on the
tab Values. Instead you find the commands on the respective menus in the dialog.

© 2022 Siemens• We removed the check box Show object names as tooltip from the tab User Interface of the
Preferences dialog.
• We replaced the read-only attribute InternalClassName with the read-only attribute
InternalClassType. It returns the built-in English name of the object.
• We added the read-only attribute UUID. It uniquely identifies the object during its life time.
• We added the function getLibrariesDirectories.
• We added the parameter AlternativePaths to the method getLibraryInfo
• We removed the buttons Rotation Center and Orientation of the MUs from the General Ribbon tab
of the Icon Editor. For the Rotation Center we now only support Rotate around Reference Point, for
the Orientation of the MUs the setting Same As the Object.
You can still change these settings with the attributes RotateAroundRefPoint and RotateMUs for
point-oriented objects, with the attribute RotateMovables for length-oriented objects, and with
RotateMUs in the Frame. These settings are important only for models created in previous versions
which use a no-longer supported setting that you would like to change. The no-longer supported
modes still work we strongly advise against using them in new models.
• We changed how the number of objects is counted in the Plant Simulation Standard License and
the Plant Simulation Standard License. This is now counted the same way as it is in the Foundation
and the Student License. It only counts the number of objects in the simulation frame and not in the
entire model.
• We extended the behavior of Plant Simulation. You now can also drag a DWG/DXF-CAD-file onto a
Frame window in 2D and drop it there in a Standard License to use it as the background picture. 3D
already allowed that.
