Display a machine during simulation

1. Ensure that the milling setup uses a machine definition that has a linked machine model.

2. In the Browser, select the milling setup or the individual operations you want to simulate.

   Tip: Hold the Ctrl key to multiselect operations.

3. On the Manufacture workspace toolbar, click Actions > Simulate with Machine .

   The Simulate with Machine dialog is displayed, and the Simulation contextual environment opens, replacing all the tabs in the Manufacture workspace.

4. If the machine is not displayed, on the Simulation contextual environment’s toolbar, click Display > Machine .

   

5. (Optional) Use the options in the Simulate with Machine dialog to further control the visibility of the machine:

   • To show the machine’s base and its housing, select the Show Base checkbox.
   • To make the machine see-through, select the Transparent checkbox.

6. Use the player controls and timeline to navigate the simulation.

Use the other options on the toolbar and in the dialog to control the visibility of the tool, toolpaths, and stock during the simulation, and to check for simulation issues and view the NC code.
