ICAM Virtual Machine ® Version 19.0 Virtual Machine Reference, Menu Bar Simulation»Virtual Machine (CeRun & Gener only) 4.3 Menu Bar Virtual machine can be nearly completely controlled from the Simulation menu bar selection. 4.3.1 Simulation»Virtual Machine (CERUN & GENER only) Activates the Virtual Machine main simulation window if inactive or minimized. Deactivates the simulation window if already active. This window can also be toggled from the View toolbar. See “Navigating the Simulation Window” on page 13 for details on how to manipulate your viewpoint in the main simulation window. It is important to note that collision and overtravel detection (CERUN and GENER) and collision avoidance (GENER) are not affected in any way by the state of the simulation window. 4.3.2 Simulation»Controller (CERUN & GENER only) Activates the Virtual Machine Controller window if inactive or minimized. Deactivates the VM Controller window if already active. This window can also be toggled from the View toolbar. The VM Controller window has tabs to support the following functions, each of which are described in the sections that immediately follow: � Jogging model axes (below) � Setting fixture compensation (on page 75) � Setting tool compensation (on page 76) � Replaying the simulation (on page 77) Simulation»Controller: Axes Provides interactive motion control over the axes of the model when processing is in a paused state. The sliders move each axis through its available range of travel. Linear axes positions are listed in the units selected in the Unit drop-down list. For rotary axes with unlimited travel, sliders move the axis through �405º of travel. Axes can be moved to any position (within travel or otherwise) by entering a value in the input-field next to the slider. When the Enable tooltip check box is selected, resting the mouse pointer over an axis name, slider bar or input-field, will pop-up a tool-tip dialog showing the minimum, maximum and current axis position. 74 ICAM Technologies Corporation – Proprietary
Virtual Machine Reference, Menu Bar Simulation»Controller (CeRun & Gener only) When Simulation»Show»Workpiece Coords (Ctrl W shortcut) is in effect, the linear axes values are the local coordinates with respect to part zero instead of model axes values. (CERUN only) Select Reset All Axes to reset all axes to the last interpolated position (i.e., to the positions they were at before they were changed via the slider or position input field). Axes are automatically reset whenever processing is continued. Note that it is not possible to interactively set an axis position and continue processing with the axis at that set position. The spindle state can also be interactively controlled and tested from Axes tab. First, select the spindle identifier in the Spindles drop-down selection field and then press one of the buttons immediately to the right as follows: Toggles on and off the selected spindle. Any objects attached to the spindle will be swept around the spindle axis to create the volume that will then be used for collision detection and material removal. When the spindle is turning, the swept volume is displayed as a solid object. When the spindle is subsequently stopped, the swept volume continues to be shown in a transparent color (representing the fact that the position of the spindle is unknown), with the unswept object shown inside for reference purposes. Stops and locks the selected spindle. Places the selected spindle in neutral. Orients the selected spindle to the angle specified in the field immediately to the right of the button. The swept profile is no longer used once a spindle is oriented, since its position is then known. Computation of swept volume from a 3D shape can be CPU intensive. Simulation»Controller: Fixture Compensation This tab provides control of fixture compensation (also known as work piece compensation). It is important to accurately set appropriate fixture compensation amounts if non-zero fixture compensation amounts will be used at the machine. Fixture compensation offsets are identified by an integer ID number ranging from 1 up to the number of different offsets available on the CNC. For example, on a CNC with G54 through G59 codes defining fixture compensation, ID number 1 would represent G54, ID number 2 would represent G55, and so on, up to ID number 6 for G59. Select the Add button to define the compensation amounts for a particular ID. Fixture compensation is defined by the control emulator or post-processor, not the model. If fixture compensation is not defined in the CE or PP, then the Add button will not be available. ICAM Technologies Corporation – Proprietary 75
