NCSIMUL Essential Training

Description

Chapter Overview 

Chapter 1: Getting Started 

• Launch NCSIMUL Machine and navigate the interface. 
• Understand the folder structure and how to modify it. 
• Create a custom working environment. 
• Explore user preferences and mouse control settings. 
• Import/export simulation projects. 
• Understand the importance of Admin Mode and training environments.

Chapter 2: Intro to the User Interface 

• Walk through the Project tab, Resources section, and Simulation Phases.
• Navigate the Process Edit tab and Machine Axes Movement. 
• Use the Setup Editor and define part positioning with imported CAD. 
• Learn about Zero Setup and its impact on project configuration. 
• Explore the Tool Library and Initialization options. 

Chapter 3: Understanding NC Program Tools 

• Explore options in the NC Program section. 
• Use “Simulate Selected Operation” to test specific lines. 
• Decode errors with Simul Process Error detection (axis locks, overtravels, etc.).
• Read time, feed, speed, and tool status with Simul Process Status. 
• Review complete operation data with Simul Process Info. 
• Understand measurements, variables, and selection details.

Chapter 4: Mastering the 3D Simulation View 

• Switch between Machine View and Table View. 
• Adjust orientation: ISO, Top, Front, etc. 
• Change display modes: Wireframe, Shaded, and others.

Chapter 5: Creating a New Setup 

• Unzip your training files and access all simulation assets.
• Start a new project using OP10.CAT. 
• Define Stock, Part, and Fixture using the Setup tab. 
• Position the Axis System and set Security Volume parameters.
• Build tool assemblies and import extension/holder models.
• Set compensation values for tool radius and length. 

Chapter 6: Single Simulation Process 

• Load and configure the MH400 4-Axis FANUC machine.
• Use Zero Setup to define the absolute origin. 
• Load the bracket tool library and assign the proper G54 datum.
• Import NC program file mp10.tap. 
• Run your first complete simulation. 

Chapter 7: Multi-Setup Simulation Process 

• Add multiple setups using OP20.bracket. 
• Assign machines, define new geometry, and import CAD axis.
• Configure absolute zero for each process. 

By the End of This Course, You’ll Be Able To: 

• Simulate single or multi-step operations with confidence.
• Decode and resolve real NC code errors before reaching the shop floor.
• Build complete setups, assign tools, and analyze simulation results.
• Use NCSIMUL to reduce risk and improve machining productivity.
