Operation for mold making simulation is available in the Program
operating area if display machine data 9480:
MA_SIMULATION_MODE is set to a value between 0 and 2.
-1 Standard simulation
0 Selection between standard simulation/mold making G1
blocks
via operation
1 Mold making only, G1 blocks
2 Automatic mode selection via program size.
The limit value for the program size is specified in the display
Machine data 9481: MA_STAND_SIMULATION_LIMIT.
The following scaling settings are available: Zoom in, Zoom out and
Automatic fit window.
The automatic scaling function "Fit to size" uses the part program to
take the largest expansion of the workpiece in the individual axes into
account.
In the submenu Details, the search function displays the part program
block whose machining path traverses the position (which was
previously marked using the cursor keys or softkeys) in the workpiece
representation.
First activate Block search then use the cursor keys or softkeys to
move the cross-hair to the desired location. Press the input key to
search for the required block and display it. The cross-hair must be
positioned in the area of the displayed workpiece section.
In the submenu Edit you can choose whether to search for a block
designated by a block number or
a block which contains a specified string.
The search function will return the blocks that match the criteria and
display them in the 2-line program section above the graphic display
and highlight them.
The message line shows the percentage value of the entire part
program which is displayed in the graphic.
Loading the workpiece graphic can be cancelled at any time by
pressing the End softkey. Changing to a different operating area
interrupts loading the graphic. When you return to the Program
operating area, the loading process is continued.
