Simulation

SolidCAM simulation enables you to check and view the generated tool path after you have defined and calculated your machining operations. The simulation can help you avoid problems such as mistakes in defining the operations or selection of an unsuitable turning strategy you would otherwise experience during the actual production run.

To simulate an operation, right-click its name in the CAM Manager.
The operation menu is displayed. Click the Simulate command.

  • You can also simulate a group of selected operations. Select the operations with the Ctrl key, right-click them and choose the Simulate command from the menu.

  • To simulate all operations, right-click the Operations header in the CAM Manager and choose the Simulate command from the menu.

The Simulation control panel is displayed.
