Simulation before 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.
