To reduce simulation time

Due to the large number of moves in the toolpaths for a typical 3D part, animating the entire toolpath using 3D solid simulation is often time-consuming. Instead, consider one of the following techniques:

• Mix 3D solid and RapidCut simulation.
• Use centerline simulation and pause the simulation periodically and erase the displayed toolpaths to clear the screen.
• Use RapidCut and use the Play to Next Operation button to quickly see the results of each operation.
• Use RapidCut and slow down the speed control so that you see some intermediate results.
• Use a region of interest in combination with either 3D solid simulation or RapidCut.
