WorkpieceThe Workpiece item in the CAM Tree allows you to assign the geometry that displays in the simulation window as the workpiece (final part). When you assign a workpiece, only the assigned geometry is passed to simulation regardless of how many models are visible in the Workspace. The workpiece can be assigned during the job setup or by using the CAM Tree. The workpiece visibility can be toggled in the simulation with the Workpiece option. For information on how to adjust the visibility, see the Visibility section of The Simulation Tab.

Re/Select
- enables selection mode for you to assign workpiece geometry
or to modify the current assignment. After assigning or modifying
the selection, click OK (
).
Remove
- eliminates the geometry assignment for the workpiece. If you
do not assign workpiece geometry, all visible models in the workspace
are passed to simulation.
