Prerequisite:
• In order to manage path markers (program labels, e.g. MARKER1),
they must be programmed at the required position in the program.
• Using the "Manage path markers" setting (Settings ->
Display/Colors -> Manage path markers) you can decide whether
− the path markers are to be displayed in the graphic and/or
− the associated intermediate model is to be saved.
Search run
Intermediate stages of the simulation model can be stored next to the
path markers, allowing synchronized resumption of simulation without
resetting the graphic that already exists.
You can skip any sections that are already optimized.
Block search:
In the menu "Block search" you can select the path marker you wish
to jump to.
Additional information
• You can also load the machining list in menu "Channel/spindle"
directly from the current workpiece via the "Program selection"
softkey or from a JOB list.
6.8.6 Quick display in the simulation for mold making
Target
The function offers quick display of machining paths, e.g. like those
used by CAD systems. Generally these part programs are very large.
Any existing work offsets, Go, G2, G3 are not taken into account, only
those axis paths resulting from G1 are displayed.
Characteristics of quick
display
• Simulation for mold making is a standard function
• Switching between 2D and 3D is supported
• Rotation of workpiece in 3D view
• Representation in the various different planes
• Size scaling, zoom for the displayed workpiece
• Search via row number/string
• Search via machining block which traverses marked positions
• Progress bar
• Execution of part program blocks
• Distance measurement
• Can be interrupted by other operating areas/can be aborted
• The programs to be simulated can be executed from external
drives
• The NC interpreter does not take part in the simulation.
