The graphical simulation is implemented as a self-contained process.
The simulation can be selected directly from the program overview or
from the ASCII editor after selection of a part program in the
"Program" operating area.
You can perform simulation without any special start-up. The
simulation can be started with default data in accordance with the set
technology turning or milling.
Using the "match data" function, selected data can be loaded from NC
to the simulation environment and are then available for the simulated
programs just like during program execution in the NC.
Providing the correct password is used, additional functions and
optimizations (e.g. accelerate simulation run-up) can be performed.
This is described in /IM4/ Start-up HMI Advanced /Section simulation
data alignment. In addition, the default values listed in the simulation
interface can be adapted to suit the machine manufacturer's needs.

· Complete turning operations

The simulation results of several part programs in succession (e.g. for
multilateral machining during milling, internal/external machining
during turning, multi-slide machining, etc.) can be superimposed on
an overall display of the same blank (see machining list in
Channel/Spindle softkey). The finished part results from the
sequential interaction of all the simulated part programs. The direct
simulation of several part programs (simultaneously) is not
possible.
The range of effectiveness (channel, spindle, tool, sequence) of the
currently selected part program is visible in the status line on the
lower edge of the simulation window.
