X6 Machine Simulation Help

[Aaron Eberhard]

I have no insight nor control in that sphere, but I'm going to guess not... One of the big reasons we can release HLE is the lock down that happens to the data inside.. It's really not worth the effort to try to lock down all of the ways you can get data out of Mach Sim (nor all the work that could mess up everything it "touches", so I think the easier solution was to simply limit the data you could put into it..

Aaron, can you check to see when we may have the HLE for X7? thanks

Dont have HLE but file worked fine in X6 mu3 with no settings modified.

It works fine with surfaces. And is awesome. I am going to have to start bringing models of my vises and rotary indexers into my programs and creating machine sims now. Is there a machine sim setup for a Haas VF2?

Hi Kevin,

Been playing around with the Machine Simulation setup for a HAAS VF2 and VF3. Somehow, the STL files I've created for this machine gets scaled down to a metric environnement, ie, for example, the machine housing looks very very small in comparaison to the part, tool and fixture. Tried recreating the STL files and bingo, everything looks great. Didn't change any settings or units in the Mastercam file for the STL creation. Does anybody know why the machine stl elements would be scaled down to metric .... or how they should be done in the first place? Had the same problem with the VF3 simulation models.

 

If I can sort this out to make it bullet proof, I don't mind putting them up on the FTP site for everyone to use.

Regards,

Luc

Start with Metric and then go from there for your files. It Scales to Inch from Metric good, but going the other way for me has not worked well. I take an inch model scale it to metric build my machine and good to go from there.
