My computer crashes when running a mill turn simulation -
Good morning group, I have recently started new position in which I have to program these Mill Turns and I have been task to develop setup paper work, which is not that difficult to do but I would appreciate some feedback. in addition we are using Sandvik Modular tooling.. Main Spindle is a C6 and turret tools are C4 We have a machine simulator and post processor thru Mastercam and this is my dilemma, the tools in the simulator don't match actual tools we are using. I know we can import the mounting blocks and attach them to the turret using control definition but cant get the the head that attaches to the block. we are trying to mimic the exact set up on the simulator as the machine it self... is that even possible?? We run thru simulation and no issues with the current process but when we go out to prove it we may run into some clearance issues because tools don't exactly match simulation. What the best setup documents can can be implemented? Thanks in advance,

So my shop has recently bought a Mazak Integrex, so with that we purchased a lathe seat. The post/ machine def/control def are lathe and not mill. The first part I programmed was all mill work, so i was needing the verify to display as a mill stock def and not a round lathe def. I was able to select a model (looks kinda like a boomerang) as the initial stock but when i pulled it up in verify to check for collisions it was not ,it displays my part as round and not what i actually need. What can i do, if anything? Thanks in advance
