I am working in my master thesis and i need any simulator for Robotic Arm.
This is a good question with many possible answers.
A good pleace to start in answering this question is
Andrew T. Miller, GraspIt!: A Versatile Simulator for Robotic Grasping, 2001:
http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~amiller/thesis.pdf
See Section 2.1, starting on page 23, on robotic arm simulation.
A more recent and very good place to consider is
Niceto Rafael Luque Sola, BIO-INSPIRED ROBOTIC CONTROL SCHEMES USING
BIOLOGICALLY PLAUSIBLE NEURAL STRUCTURES, 2013:

See the attached papers at the end of this thesis.
Even though early, perhaps the most helpful of the things I have found about robotic arm simulators is in
WALLACE EUGENE KELLY, III, NEURO-FUZZY CONTROL OF A ROBOTIC ARM, 1994:

Autodesk Fusion 360 is an emerging technology to desing and for simulation.
Test fit and motion, perform simulations, create assemblies, make photorealistic renderings and animations....

Please see Table 1 titled "Comparative review of reported platforms for simulating control systems for manipulators" of the following paper. References are also given for further details.

In case you are interested in simulating existing industrial robot manipulators: Many vendors of industrial robots also provide good simulators. Usually, these systems work well with their own robots and are limited concerning simulation of custom kinematic chains. Some packages are free, some are not. Examples:
- ABB RobotStudio - http://new.abb.com/products/robotics/en/robotstudio/downloads
- KUKA KUKA.Sim - http://www.kuka-robotics.com/en/products/software/kuka_sim/
- FANUC ROBOGUIDE - http://robot.fanucamerica.com/products/vision-software/roboguide-simulation-software.aspx
to name a few. There are some other tools by suppliers that do not sell their own robots:
The industrial simulation package tecnomatix (now owned by Siemens) is a very powerful alternative: http://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/products/tecnomatix/
Then you can also look at "Robotics Simulation Engineer" by Dassault Systemes / DELMIA at http://www.3ds.com/products-services/3dexperience/on-premise/robotics-on-premise/robot-simulation/
Note that the majority of these programs are expensive, but ABB RobotStudio offers a free version and trial use of add-on packages. The simulation of a full dynamic model for a custom manipulator, however, might be very difficult, whereas kinematic simulations of custom kinematic chains can be done after creating them using the "mechanism editor".
Not sure that this helps you properly with your needs - it is admittedly a rather industrially loaded perspective.

Dear Bjoern,
It is very helpful.Thank you very much for your support.
Matlab Sim Mechanics (First Generation)
Matlab Sim Mechanics (Second Generation)
Msc Adams View
Maple: MapleSim
FEM Software: Comsol & Ansys (Multibody Dynamic)
For industrial applications, please use Delmia or 3D experience
OpenModelica would be very applicable if you want to use an open source software, https://www.openmodelica.org.
SimMechanics would be a good choice given its large physical modeling toolbox with the entire simulink toolbox (communication with MATLAB is very easy and fruitful)
Autodesk Fusion, is a good choice !! if you need more control you can use inside 3D UNIT
V-REP is the best for for multi-robot applications. Controllers can be written in C/C++, Python, Java, Lua, Matlab or Octave.
I think the answers proposed are very diverse because the question is not precise enough. When I simulate a new robot during design, software such as CATIA simulates the inverse kinematic model very well. With a virtual mechanism, we can do the inverse kinematic model. If it is an industrial robot, it is better to simulate in a professional environment such as Delmia. Programming under V-Rep does not allow the generation of motion that can be sent directly to the control of a robot. There is also proprietary software such as Kuka Sim from Kuka. You can also use the Adams software to check the dynamics.
v-rep can be agood option. Simulations can be cooded with pythoin, c/c++ and even with matlab through ROS.
Ji may be robodk is good enough which v follow in our department... Or u may go with Gazebo (ROS)
check this links maybe help you
