Default parameters are parameters that are assigned to individual operations custom as required. This can be done using the dialog (see figure Manage user defined parameters of task).

Figure 185: Manage user defined parameters of task

This dialog box has two distinct regions. On the dialog box‘s left side, the available tasks characteristics which are currently inactive along with its category, parameter name and description are provided in the form of a table. On the right side, the selected and activated task parameters are enlisted as “parameter“. The values can be assigned to the activated task properties in the corresponding fields. Multi-select feature is available for the task parameters on the both side of the dialog box and the selected task parameters can be switched between the two sides using and .

The parameters are grouped under various category names: Basic parameters, Documentation, Human robot collaboration, Line balancing & variants, Object handling, Optional parameters and Sequence control. The Category filter on the top-left corner of the dialog box enable the user to show or hide the required category(s) of parameters.

The current user defined task parameters are as shown in the table:

Category	Parameter	Type	Meaning
Basic parameters	Time scaling [%]	Floating-point number	A value to proportionally adjust the required duration of the task.
Documentation	Short description	Text	A short text field for a description (see chapter User interface / 3D settings / Documentation). ATTENTION: Do not use line breaks if the task data is to be exported and reused via csv import.
Documentation	Long description	Text	A long text field for a description (see chapter User interface / 3D settings / Documentation). ATTENTION: Do not use line breaks if the task data is to be exported and reused via csv import.
Documentation	Advice type	Selection	Type of advice required (see chapter User interface / 3D settings / Documentation).
Documentation	Advice	Text	Short description of the advice (see chapter User interface / 3D settings / Documentation). ATTENTION: Do not use line breaks if the task data is to be exported and reused via csv import.
Documentation	Advice text	Text	Elaborate description of the advice (see chapter User interface / 3D settings / Documentation). ATTENTION: Do not use line breaks if the task data is to be exported and reused via csv import.
Documentation	Attachments	File	A parameter to attach a file.
Documentation	Poka yoke task	Checkbox	A parameter to define a task as a poka yoke task.
Human robot collaboration	HRC interaction level	Selection	A selection parameter for defining a HRC interaction level.
Human robot collaboration	HRC operation mode	Selection	A selection parameter for defining a HRC operation mode.
Line balancing & variants	Interval	Integer	A value that indicates after how many cycles a task is executed (see chapter User interface / Tab "Tasks" / Variant management).
Line balancing & variants	Process location	Object	A link to a location for this process.
Object handling	Force tilting	Checkbox	Attribute to force object tilting during manipulation process.
Object handling	Ignore bulkiness	Checkbox	Attribute to ignore object bulkiness during manipulation process.
Object handling	Ignore object mass	Checkbox	Attribute to ignore object weight during manipulation process.
Optional parameters	Collision avoidance	Checkbox	A decision parameter to enable collision avoidance behavior for human models. The following collisions are avoided when this function is activated: •Avoidance of collisions of body parts (hand/arm/upper body/head) with objects marked as collision objects for the target pose(s) of the task (e.g. when picking up object(s), i.e. the pose when the hand has reached the object). •Avoidance of collisions of parts of the arm on the way from the starting pose to the target pose calculated above in the Moving hand to target and Straighten up tasks. This ensures collision-free movements when reaching out. When retracting, this has so far only worked if the human model has to straighten up.
Optional parameters	Eye to head movement ratio [%]	Floating-point number	A value to adjust the ratio of the head movement to the eye movement when a target point is looked at. 100 % correspond to 100 % head movement and 0 % eye movement, 0 % correspond to 0 % head movement and 100 % eye movement.
Sequence control	Ignore if TRUE	Checkbox	A decision parameter for sequence control. If the value is TRUE (checkbox activated) then the task will be ignored (not simulated).
Sequence control	Ignore if FALSE	Checkbox	A decision parameter for sequence control. If the value is FALSE (checkbox deactivated) then the task will be ignored (not simulated).
Sequence control	Ignore if EMPTY	Object	A decision parameter for sequence control. If the value is EMPTY (no object selected), the process is ignored (not simulated).
Sequence control	Execute, if selected	Selection	A decision parameter for sequence control that can be linked to a drop-down by right-clicking it. If the value of the linked drop-down corresponds to the selected value, the action is simulated. If the value of the linked drop-down does not correspond to the selected value, the action is ignored (not simulated).
Sequence control	Loop per object	Checkbox	An attribute which defines that this group will loop over any additional defined objects, the count of the provided objects will define how often the content of this group will be executed - one time with every object (e.g. for picking and placing all objects from a box one after another).
Sequence control	Loop count [#]	Checkbox	A number defining how often the content of this group will be executed during simulation.

The parameters Loop per object, Loop count and Process location are only available for task groups. The dialog box can be closed by clicking the button Done. Corresponding to a task in the Tasks tab, the active user defined parameters are highlighted.
