Version 6 of CIMulator3D comes almost ANCA introduced the original CIMulator3D tool and cutter grinding software.
Users of the CIMulator3D will be familiar with features such as tool measurement, cross sectional viewing of tools, wheel collision detection and complete machine model simulation. New features of the latest CIMulator3D upgrade will improve the efficiency, flexibility and overall performance of the grinding simulation process. These include the capability to export the simulated tool in STEP Formats AP203 AP214 and IGES. A benefit of the STEP and IGES export is that the user will be able to use the imported model for drafting purposes, measurement and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). With some CADCAM packages it is even possible to import the simulated tool directly into the CAM process.
The new release also features several new machine component models that are now available, including P axis, tailstock, woodworking blade chucks and cuboid woodworking profiles. All the new component models will assist and offer increased collision detection and verification benefits to the customer.
