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.
