Double click the program to start the program simulation.

Alternatively:

1.Right click the program

2.Select Run

A simulation bar will appear at the bottom if the program is double clicked. It is possible to slide the simulation to move the simulation forward or backwards using the simulation bar.

Tip: Select Program➔ Fast simulation to speed up the simulation (or hold the space bar). This option is also available in the toolbar.

RoboDK simulates 5 times faster than real time by default. That means that if a program takes 30 seconds to execute it will be simulated in 30/5=6 seconds. Speeding up the simulation increases this ratio to 100. Normal and fast simulation speeds can be changed in the Tools➔Options➔Motion menu.

Tip: Select Program➔ Pause to pause the simulation (or the Backspace key).

Tip: Select Esc key to stop the simulation or double click the program again.

Tip: Double click each instruction individually to execute them one by one.

Tip: Right click a movement instruction and select Start from here to resume the program execution from that instruction, as shown in the next image.
