 I am trying to build simulation with 2 robots on same controller and one of them controlling 1 MU 450, and 2 MU250. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Easiest way is to use the ABB library to import the robots and motors then use system from layout to create the virtual controller.

    During one of the steps in create system from layout you can add any RobotWare options you require.

    Thanks for the response. I am getting a combination not supported error.

    Yes seems to be an issue - it is OK with 1 robot and 3 motors but not 2.

    I created a system using installation manger with 2 robots (MultiMove) and three additional drive units - but if I use this in RobotStudio the additional drive units do not appear in the system to be able to be allocate them to the motors.

    It might require the configuration files for the motors to be loaded as per the application manual Additional axes and standalone controller.

    Sorry do not have time to look further at present.
