5.3 Contour Simulation
5.3.1 Contour-Simulation Functions
The contour-simulation function allows you to:
■ Select between ”section or view” graphics.
■ Check the contour programming through simulation
in single blocks.
■ Check the parameters of a contour element
(element dimensioning).
■ Measured each contour point with respect to a
reference point (point dimensioning).
Contour simulation presupposes that the blank or
finished part contour (blank or finished part definition,
auxiliary contours) is programmed. If the blank or
finished part contours have not yet been completely
programmed, they are displayed as completely as
possible.
Back to main menu
■ Menu points or control of the simulation
■ New: Redraws the contour (program changes are
taken into account)
■ Continue: Displays the next NC source block or
basic block
■ Menu item ”Representation” (of contour)
You configure:
■ (cross) ”Section”
■ (lateral) ”View”
■ ”Section and view””: Above the center of
rotation the lateral view, below the center, the cross
section
”Set up – ...” drop-down menu:
■ ”... – Window”:
”... – zero point C”:
see ”5.2 Main Menu”
■ ”... – Contour selection”:
■ In the dialog box, define whether one selected
contour or all contours of the NC program will be
shown.
■ Define whether zero point shifts will be included.
■ ”... – Warnings”: see ” 5.1.2 Notes for Operation”
■ Menu item ”3-D view”: see ” 5.7 3-D View”
■ ”Debug” drop-down menu:
If you use variables to describe the contour, you
can show and edit them with the debug functions
(see ”
5.8 Checking the NC Program Run”).
5.3 Contour Simulation
In single/basic block mode, ”section” graphics is active.
