2026.02.23 Release
Now Available: Resolver 2026.02.23
We are excited to kick off the New Year with the release of Resolver 2026.02.23! This release is full of enhancements that aim to improve your Resolver experience. Read on to learn more about what to expect in this release.
Resolver is enabled by our latest connectors:
- Process Simulate Connector 1.16.0
- Visual Components Connector 1.15.0
- MELSOFT Gemini Connector 1.15.0
Compatibility information for supported simulation tools and versions can be found on the minimum requirements page of the Resolver documentation site. We recommend always downloading the latest version of the Resolver Connectors, regardless of the version of the simulation tool you are using.
Release Highlights
New interpolation type and platform workflow updates
- NEW: Hybrid Interpolation for Spotwelds using Process Simulate
- What is Hybrid Interpolation? Hybrid interpolation is a trajectory planning mode that intelligently switches between joint and linear interpolation based on proximity to target waypoints. It combines high speed joint motion at far distances with the control and human-preference of linear motion when near process points. The engine switches interpolation type based on whether paths are being generated outside or inside a zone around the process point.
- Outside switch zone: Uses fastest-path Joint interpolation for maximum cycle time performance.
- Inside switch zone: Switches to Linear interpolation for controlled motion that is easier for humans to touch up during commissioning.
- The distance threshold that determines when to transition between modes is called the Switch Distance.
- Note: Resolver will fall back to joint interpolation on any linear-specified motions that fail to generate due to joint limitations or singularity detection. This is true for all planned linear moves regardless of the hybrid designation.
- How will this appear in the Platform UI?
- Users will now see the Hybrid option in the Approach Strategy column when configuring a run.

- When Hybrid is selected, a new window will appear to make selections for the motion parameters. These include:
- Switch Distance: The radius of the zone around the process point where the engine will switch from high-speed joint moves to speed limited linear moves.
- Joint Speed: Max speed used for generated vias outside the switch zone. Highly recommended to leave at 100%.
- Linear Speed: Max speed used for generated vias inside the switch zone.
- How will this appear in the Process Simulate Connector?
- Users will notice a new check box that will allow them to apply hybrid interpolation to all spotweld targets.
- To adjust the Switch Distance, Joint Speed, and Linear Speed for export, users can click on the settings icon in the top right corner.
- When the check box is selected, the options to adjust the Hybrid motion parameters will appear in the settings dialog.

NEW: Smoothing on SD/ED with FANUC robots
- For those using FANUC robots, Resolver will now be able to output paths with smoothed approach and retreat motions.
-
NEW: Project workflow upon log in
- There is no longer a dedicated “studies” page when logging into Resolver, so studies and runs can be found through the tree navigation and any direct links with /studies in the URL should be replaced.
All Connectors
Improved warnings and option to include a description upon export
- Improved: Warning Messages
- Users now have the option to select “Don’t show again” on all warning pop ups.
- This will be per study, per session within your simulation tool, so if a user opens a new study, they will need to select “Don’t show again” if a warning occurs in that study.
- Users can also cancel all warning pop ups.
- NEW: Study description on export
- Users can now include a study description upon export, rather than having to edit the description in the platform once the study is uploaded to Resolver.
- Improved: Upload timeout
- Previously, upload session time out would occur after 10 minutes, but that time is now extended to one hour meaning that exporting a large file is improved.
Process Simulate Connector 1.16.0
Improvements for SD/ED, new import options, and support for spline motions
- NEW: Option to select where in operation tree to import Resolver results
- Users can now select the location in the operation tree to import to.
- If a user selects an operation in the tree, it overwrites the previous import location, which by default is the root.
- Selection of an import location is not required for a successful import.
- If a user does not select a location, the import will automatically go to the root.

- NEW: Ability to export and run spline and circular motions in Resolver
- The splines are treated as subtask points, and the entire spline motion is exported as a single target.
- Resolver will optimize the approach and retreat to the spline motion, adding vias and interlocks to avoid collisions with other robots and optimize cycle time.
- We will support joint or linear spline motions and circular motions.
- NEW: Exporting weld schedules for FANUC robots
- When using FANUC robots in Process Simulate, weld schedules will now be exported as part of the project data.
- The system will be using the gun closed value from this table to set weld guns during robot allocation.
- Please ensure that the weld schedules for your FANUC robots are properly set up in the PS Controller to take advantage of this new functionality.
- NEW: Limit checks for SD/ED violating limits during export
- There is a new error that will appear if assigned target SD/ED values violate the robot joint limits.
- There is a new warning for unassigned targets if the SD/ED value of any of those targets could violate the joint limits.
- Improved: Weld calibration
- Calibration of welds was improved to extract more accurate approach and retreat durations for each robot in a cell.
- Overall calibration time was improved when users elect to cache calibration data.
Visual Components and Gemini Connectors 1.15.0
UI Improvements and bug fixes
- Improved: UI Design
- Users will notice a new progress bar during import.
- There is a new border on popup dialogs.
- There are improvements to buttons, like highlighting active tabs and new X close out buttons on pop ups.
