nation of its tool number and the offset ID for that specific tool (e.g., tool 12, offset 1). Otherwise,<br />
the compensation is defined as a simple offset ID (e.g., offset 12). Select the appropriate<br />
Add button to define the length or diameter compensation amounts for a particular offset. Tool<br />
length and diameter compensation are defined by the control emulator or post-processor, not the<br />
model. If tool length or diameter compensation is not defined in the CE or PP, then the appropriate<br />
Add button will not be available.<br />
The offset amounts are entered and listed in the units specified in the Unit drop-down list.<br />
Double-click on an axis or diameter entry to change its value. Use the Tab and Shift Tab keys to<br />
quickly move between entries. Press the Set button to set the offset values of the selected ID<br />
lines to the current Axes positions (as set via the Axes tab). Press the Zero button to quickly zero<br />
the offset values of the selected ID lines. You can completely remove an offset ID by selecting<br />
the entire line and pressing the Delete key.<br />
The currently active length and diameter compensation IDs can be seen in simulation window<br />
heads-up display by activating the “Active Compensations” check box in the Simulation»Display<br />
dialog (Ctrl Alt D shortcut).<br />
Tool compensation data is automatically saved in the verification setup (.vsw) file when the<br />
program is completed. This setup file will be reused on subsequent runs to quickly reestablish the<br />
tool compensation settings necessary for an accurate simulation.<br />
Simulation»Controller: Time Line<br />
This tab provides control over the Timeline<br />
review and replay function of VM.<br />
The Timeline shows the collision and axes<br />
overtravel state of the simulation in a timegraph<br />
format. Pause the simulation to select<br />
any point in time with the left-mouse button;<br />
the simulation window will update to show the<br />
state of the simulation at that time. You can<br />
also drag the mouse pointer left and right to<br />
cause the simulation window to replay the<br />
motion events backwards and forwards in<br />
time.<br />
See “VM Controller Timeline” on page 33 for more details.<br />
