ANCA's CIMulator3D software Version 6 has been upgraded with several advanced new features that will further improve the efficiency, flexibility and overall performance of the grinding simulation process.
One major new feature included in Version 6 is the capability to export the simulated tool in STEP Formats AP203 AP214 and IGES. Customers will be able to export directly from CIMulator3D quickly and easily into as CAD Packages as STEP and IGES are widely used neutral formats for the transferral of data accepted by most CAD packages.
Another benefit of the STEP and IGES export feature is that the user has the capability of employing 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.
A major advantage of the new ANCA release is the addition of several new machine component models, including P-axis, tailstock, woodworking blade chucks and cuboid woodworking profiles.
All of the new component models will provide increased collision detection and verification benefits to the customer.
