3.10 Simulating machining
Views
The following views are available for all three variants:
● Top view
● 3D view
● 4-window view
● Side view
Status display
The current axis coordinates, the override, the current tool with cutting edge, the current
program block, the feedrate and the machining time are displayed.
In all views, a clock is displayed during graphical processing. The machining time is
displayed in hours, minutes and seconds. It is approximately equal to the time that the
program requires for processing including the tool change.

Simulation prior to machining of the workpiece

Before machining the workpiece on the machine, you have the option of performing a quick
run-through in order to graphically display how the program will be executed. This provides a
simple way of checking the result of the programming.
Feedrate override
Feedrate override is also active during simulation.
You can change the feedrate during the simulation via the user interface.
0 %: The simulation stops.
≥ 100 %: The program is executed as quickly as possible.

Software options
You require the option "3D simulation of the finished part" for the 3D view
and the 4-window view.
You require the option "Simultaneous recording (real-time simulation)" for
the "Simultaneous recording" function.
