Tool Path Display
Integrated Material Deposition/Removal
- Enable material removal computation during machine simulation
- Select this check box to:
- Allow the computation of the material deposition/removal during the simulation.
- Make the Integrated Material Removal options available.
When selected, the rest of the commands in this section are activated. This option is time and memory consuming.
By default, this check box is cleared. - Synchronize material removal with simulation steps
- Synchronizes the material removal with the simulation steps. This option is applied to
a machine simulation based either on the tool path or NC code and impacts the visualization only. The
material removed is visualized between the tool path points according to the simulation
step. By default, The simulation step is set to 0.1s.
- Enable material deposition/remove back during backward simulation
- Select to allow adding back material removed during backward simulation, and to allow
the modification of Max steps backward. By default, this check box is cleared.
- Enable detailed clash results
-
Select to allow detailed clash result computation, such as tool sweep, during simulation.
By default, this check box is selected. - Compute volume information for each activity
-
Used for measurement on the machined stock. Clear this option to avoid simulating unnecessary items and to reduce simulation computation time. When you clear this option, the Volume section in the Measure dialog box is not visible.
By default, this check box is selected. - Save stock result with all information
-
Stores material removal stock results along with information like color, machining activity/tool name, and geometry information.
Clash Detection
- Merge clashes in fault list
-
Automatically merges clashes. Merging automatically causes issues in machining with robots and with drilling-riveting since movements in these applications are very large, so it is important to report clashes all along the movements.
By default, this check box is selected. - Enable Sweep Based Continuous Clash Detection
- Enables or disables sweep based continuous clash detection for all clash pairs.
- Save the Fault List in Database
- Synchronizes and saves generated results of the command Simulate and generate resultsin the database.
- Probes Selection
- Enables or disables machine clash and stock clash probes.
Machine Simulation
- Enable machine kinematics
-
Select to allow machine kinematics during machine simulation.
By default, this check box is selected.
ISO Code Simulation
- NC code simulation
-
Select to allow NC code-based simulation.
By default, this check box is cleared.
By default, this check box is cleared.
Intermediate Simulation Result
- Update automatically intermediate simulation results
- Select this check box to allow the automatic update of intermediate stock following
the results of a simulation. By default, this check box is cleared.
- Compute Intermediate Simulation Results for Each Activity
-
Automatically saves stocks on the hard disk drive. When you clear this option, the behavior of Update Intermediate Simulation Results is changed so only the last stock is saved and not all the stocks from the simulation. For large stocks, you must clear this option to reduce the time it takes to save simulation results.
By default, this check box is selected.
- Save Intermediate Simulation Results in Database
- Automatically saves the intermediate simulation results in database. The results are
then available to read in database. By default, this check box is cleared.
Other
- Maximum distance between steps
- Lets you specify the maximum distance between simulation steps. By default, The maximum distance is set to 10.00mm.
- Stop when errors exceed
-
Lets you specify a value to set up a stop condition.
By default, this check box is cleared. - Stop at tool change
-
Stops simulation at every tool change when checked. Applicable in NC code simulation.
