AFR example part 3: Simulating the toolpaths

Simulate the toolpaths to see the result of the feature recognition.

To simulate the toolpaths:

  1. Click Home tab > Simulation panel > Sim mode menu > 3D to change the simulation type.
  2. Click Play on the Simulation toolbar to start the simulation.

    The 3D cutting simulation is displayed in the graphics window.

    If there are any gouges, the simulation is paused and a warning is displayed.

  3. When the simulation is complete, check the part to ensure there are no gouges and all the features have been machined correctly.
  4. Click Stop to end the simulation.
