Machining Validation

Machining Validation enables you to verify upfront your machining setup for selected machine tools and tool paths while you are defining a machining operation.

Machining Validation Basics

You can simulate machine based on tool paths and NC code. In addition, material removal is simulated.

Machining Validation also detects axis limit errors, which is interactively corrected by modifying the machining setup, thereby enabling the NC programmer to validate and finalize the setup.

Machining Validation is helpful in:

  • Simulating machines with NC tool paths and NC code
  • Simulating milling machine and mill-turn machine work
  • Launching machine simulation
  • Customizing NC code simulation
  • Creating a machine instruction activity
  • Mounting and validating the workpiece
  • Creating additional geometry for machining such as rough stock, a maximum turning envelope, limit lines, and points
  • Providing an efficient way to program parts with replicated patterns (such as mirror, rotation, or translation) by creating auxiliary operations and by managing the reversed conditions in the mirroring case
  • Offering you the ability to copy and merge programs when several parts or several instances of the same parts are machined at the same time on the NC machine.
  • Managing the batch queue for machining tasks performed in batch mode.
