In all views, a clock is displayed during graphical processing. The machining time is displayed
in hours, minutes and seconds. It is approximately equal to the time that the program requires
for processing including the tool change.
Software options
You require the "3D simulation of the finished part" option for the 3D view.
You require the "Simultaneous recording (real-time simulation)" option for the
"Simultaneous recording" function.
Determining the program runtime
The program runtime is determined when executing the simulation. The program runtime is
temporarily displayed in the editor at the end of the program.
Properties of simultaneous recording and simulation
Traversing paths
For the simulation, the displayed traversing paths are saved in a ring buffer. If this buffer is
full, then the oldest traversing path is deleted with each new traversing path.
Optimum display
If simultaneous machining is stopped or has been completed, then the display is again
converted into a high-resolution image. In some cases this is not possible. In this case, the
following message is output: "High-resolution image cannot be generated".
Working zone limitation
No working zone limits and software limit switches are effective in the tool simulation.
Start position for simulation and simultaneous recording
During simulation, the start position is converted via the work offset to the workpiece coordinate
system.
The simultaneous recording starts at the position at which the machine is currently located.
Restrictions
● Traori: 5-axis motion is linearly interpolated. More complex motion cannot be displayed.
● Referencing: G74 from a program run does not function.
● Alarm 15110 "REORG block not possible" is not displayed.
● Compile cycles are only partly supported.
● No PLC support.
● Axis containers are not supported.
