Workpiece visualization

2.10.1 Simulation

You can detect any programming errors even before production by means of the finished part
simulation in the form of a 3D volume model or as a 3-plane view. Using the complete 3D
simulation, you simulate the programs before production, even on swiveled planes and by means
of 5-axis simultaneous simulation.
Opening a simulation:
Open the NC program in the program editor.
Press the Simulation softkey. The execution of the NC program is simulated.
During simulation, you can change, turn and zoom the display. For a better display, you can
place the cuts in the workpiece.
Via the shortcuts SHIFT+[cursor keys], you can move or rotate the display or move the cutout
and control the override using CTRL+[cursor keys].
