You can download lots of models from GTAC, Siemens customer center (need a customer account), and you also can download robot models from manufacturesrs sites, but in this case the difficult will vary.

I also would also prefer a library being delivered with the software, at least with the most common models, for the most common brands, or even an online library, without need sign up or anything else, as RoboDK do.

there is already Process Simulate robot library available since 2204 version, please have a look: External Contentwww.youtube.comContent embedded from external sources will not be displayed without your consent.Display all external contentThrough the activation of external content, you agree that personal data may be transferred to third party platforms.

Just a complementary comment to the previous ones. You can also use an STEP file and define the kinematics for the robot model. You will need the CAD file with separated entities to create the links and the joints with the Kinematics Editor. The resulting model is not going to be useful for OLP or realistic simulation, but at least it will help for Layout validation and simple tasks like that in case you are not able to get the .COJT file. Sometimes you need to wait months when a robot model is too new, until is published.

In this blog, we explore how the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, including Tecnomatix digital manufacturing software, helps companies minimize manufacturing risks and improve their production operations.
