Description
This tool allows Simulation of the Path Job by sweeping 3D Models of the Tools used in each Path Job Operation, along the defined G-Code paths, and subtracting material from the Job Stock, providing visualization of the Job for to detect and isolate errors prior to running the Job on a mill.
Usage
- Press the File:Path ToolLenthOffset.png Tool length offset button
- Deselect any Operations that are not to be simulated
- Tune the Speed and Accuracy settings.
- Select the Job for simulation from the drop menu.
- Press the Fast Forward or Play buttons to either skip directly to the result, or play back an animation of the operations.
- Pause, and Single-Step functionality is provided for resolving specific cuts or movements.
Properties
- need usage
- DataPlayback Speed: The speed of the simulation playback, in G-Code lines/second
- DataAccuracy: The accuracy of the simulation expressed as a percentage indicating the simulations deviation from the Job
- DataJob: The Job used as the basis of the simulation
- DataOperation List: The list of Operations selected for inclusion in the simulation.
