Edit Token Map Table: Set Token Properties, associate functions to Tokens, set Token execution priorities, Token Groups.
- Advanced CNC Verification: Your CNC Program is parsed for Syntax Errors, parameters passed to G-codes are verified. Specific Error Messages and Warning Messages are issued when a CNC Programming error is detected and the erroneous line is highlighted.
- Create customized Warning/Error/Debug messages through the Macro Language Editor.
- Line-by-Line or Continuous execution of the Simulation
- Modify your CNC Program while executing a Simulation
- Automatic and Edit Execution Modes.
- Machine Control Panel: based on the Fanuc-6 Control Panel (Milling and Turning) , emulates a real Machine Panel with Buttons, Switches and Step/Handle Wheel. Loading multiple Machine Panels of different Controllers is possible.
- MDI Execution Mode: type a line of CNC Code or a CNC Command and simulate it in real-time. Similar to the Manual Data Input function found in CNC Controllers.
- Step/Handle Execution Mode.
- Jog Exectution Mode.
- Save 3D machined Parts and Load them for later jobs. Combine multiple jobs on one Part. Combine Milling and Turning jobs on one Part.
- Workpiece Statistics: calculates Original Volume, Removed Volume, Machined Part Volume and Percentage of Material removed.
- Measurement Grid: apply a scalable Grid on the Workpiece to measure distances.
- Advanced Simulation Utility (Groovy): Visualizes Milling and (Overhead) Router Machining in 3D. As opposed to Polygon Modelling, all simulations are calculated by Ray-Tracing accurate 3D Models. Offers unprecedented visualization accuracy and magnification.
- Support for Rounding, Chamfering and Thread-Cutting.
- Support for Macro Programming using the Fanuc-0M post-processor.
- Post-processors: Fanuc-6M, Fanuc-6T, Fanuc-0M, Fanuc-0T, Fanuc-16M, Fanuc-16T, Mitsubishi Meldas-520AM, Mitsubishi Meldas-64L, Haas Mill, Haas Lathe, Okuma Lathe, Fadal, MachineMate 8000, Fagor 8055T, Cincinnati Lathe, Heidenhain Mill, Galil, DaVinci Mill.
- Post-processor customizations are available to Users upon request.
- 19 Demo Projects covering all supported Controllers each including multiple examples of CNC Programming.
- Software specific customizations are available to accomodate your simulation needs.
- Upgrade to the Advanced Edition possible at any time (User is charged Price difference).
- Users receive free Software Updates between two consecutive releases.
- Minimum System Requirements: Pentium II, 128MB RAM, 40MB Disk Space, Graphics Card 32MB OpenGL-compatible, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP
