looking for a machine builder tutorial for machsim

[danielm]

 

I just went thru the 80 page machine simulation intro and it didnt even mention how to build machines or edit existing machines.  

There has to be a tutorial somewhere.  

 

Thanks in advance for any tips on finding one.

Best documentation I've seen is in the ModuleWorks Help file..and it still isn't complete

I have built well over 60 machines and nothing like just digging into and figuring it out. Like other CAV process. Need to build you base then your kinematic motion from the base. Then assign your Spindle to the correct Axis and the Work Holding to the correct axis and good to go. Not Lathe or MT availability. I have built the old Master3DGage in the software which is a 6 Axis Robot kinematic structure. Postability is doing some good things with it. They are running a series of emails about their work and efforts.

Jesse with the Mastercam / CNC software team recently made a video and here is a link and he does a good job showing the process. video link below
