<strong>ICAM</strong> <strong>Virtual</strong> <strong>Machine</strong> ® Version 19.0 Using <strong>Virtual</strong> <strong>Machine</strong> Models with CeRun and Gener<br />
Selecting a <strong>Virtual</strong> <strong>Machine</strong> Model<br />
2.1.2 Selecting a Model from the Command Prompt<br />
VM can also be activated using the following CERUN and GENER command line options. These<br />
options can appear in any order on the CERUN or GENER command line.<br />
/model[=ModelName]<br />
Specifies the machine model to use. This option is necessary to activate VM. The model associated<br />
with the control emulator or post processor will be used if a model name is not explicitly<br />
given.<br />
/nomodel<br />
Disables the use of a VM model during control emulation (this is the default).<br />
/mdldbf=DatabaseFile<br />
/mrs<br />
Optionally specifies the name of the database (.dbf) file that contains the model. By default,<br />
the model will be loaded from the same database as the control emulator or post processor.<br />
Enable Material Removal Simulation (MRS). When MRS is enabled, VM simulates the cutting<br />
actions of the tool with respect to stock definitions. VM also performs collision checking<br />
between collision enabled components and the in-process stock. MRS is an add-on licensed<br />
option to VM.<br />
/nomrs<br />
Disables MRS simulation on the stock model (this is the default).<br />
/vsw=VerificationSetupFile<br />
Optionally specifies the name of the verification setup (.vsw) file. On startup, CERUN and<br />
GENER read the verification setup file to setup part program specific setup information such<br />
as tooling, part, stock, fixture, compensation, lighting adjustments, and a variety of other settings.<br />
On exit, CERUN and GENER save this information back to the setup file. By default, the<br />
setup file has the same name as the input file with a file type of “.vsw”. The setup file need<br />
not exist.<br />
When using a command line interface, the “/verbose” command line option must be given to see<br />
the machine simulation. When the full-display window appears, you may have to perform a few<br />
steps to see the simulation. CERUN and GENER remember global display settings in the registry,<br />
and remember part program specific display settings in the verification setup file. Once the<br />
display is set to your satisfaction, you normally will not need to perform any special steps to see<br />
the same display on a subsequent run of the same part program.<br />
