Notes
5.3 Blank
The blank is needed for the simulation and the simultaneous recording dur-
ing machining.
Only with a blank, which corresponds to the real workpiece as exactly as
possible, a meaningful simulation is possible.
For defining the blank, the form (block centered, pipe, cylinder, n corner)
and the dimensions are needed.
