Knowing that in order to have a good performance of MachSim, it's advised that sum of STL should be around Xx KB would help. How far should we clean them and reduce their size, this is the data that I miss.

What has final impact on machine Simulation ? The sum of each STL size together that are used in Machine Simulaion?Īlso would be nice to know STL size limit considered as "light", "medium", "heavy" for machine simulation for which above these sizes we will get Fast, medium, slow performance. If it's only 5% faster, it's another story

If I can achieve a 50% faster Machine Simulation performance, it's worth it to spend 1 hour to clean 3D model. Knowing the final impact on MachSim would help to convince ourself to spend more time to clean the models before to build MachSim. This is clearly a good practice that we should all apply.īut sometimes during busy moment, its hard to spend time on it. Okīut what is the impact on Machine Simulation usage?įaster during playing Machine Simulation ? It no longer uses positional tolerances to calculate the Machine to Mean value.We see the difference of STL File size in the video. SOLIDWORKS CAM tolerance-based machining only uses dimensional tolerances for the Machine to Mean value of a feature. This option is available in the VoluMill Settings dialog box in SOLIDWORKS CAM and Technology Database, and applies to 2.5 axis and 3 axis VoluMill toolpaths. You can split arcs that are larger than 90 degrees into smaller lines using Lines only. The calculation of Leadin and Leadout moves is improved so that the XY start and end points are accurately represented in a compensated toolpath.

Improved Leadin and Leadout Calculations for Contour Mill Toolpaths.

Solidcam offers several different simulation options including 3D simulation which is supported by MachineWorks. The Geometry tab in the Operations Parameters dialog box lets you define and modify Multisurface features, Avoid features, and Contain and Avoid areas for 3 axis milling. Solidcam does not support NURBS, Mill-Turn simulation, sub spindles, 'pinch turning', constant cutter load, but does offer some of the newer 'trochoidal' and 'plunge milling' toolpaths.

An advantage to using barrel tools is that they provide a larger area of contact, which results in a better surface finish. You can define barrel tools to generate toolpaths, mainly for multiaxis finishing operations in SOLIDWORKS CAM and the Technology Database.
