Report
Introduction
This topic explains the Report tab. This topic will also provide links to related topics.
The Report Tab
The report tab in the simulation window collects all events which happen during simulation. The items in the report are listed in a tree format structure. Each main item starts with an operation followed by the tool number with the tool definition. Other event types are listed next.
-
Value underflow
-
Value overflow
-
Collision events between axis geometries (Collision between C-axis and table)
-
Collision events between tool and geometries (Collision between tool and C-axis)
-
Collision events between tool and workpiece
-
Collision events between stock and tool part (Collision between stock and arbor part)
-
Collision events between stock and tool for rapid motions
Main Features
-
The depth of the collisions is available if the collision happens with the tool (for example, range: more than 0.2).
-
Note that if you click on a field column, the complete list of events is sorted under that field criteria
-
Click on the operation or events and the tool jumps to that position in the toolpath
Extended Warning Window
At the top of the report tab is a separate window that displays warnings about collision checking based on the way that you run the simulation. For example, if you drag the Progress slider to go to a certain point of the program (called a manual position move), then the software isn't able to collision check all moves that were skipped and then displays a warning message in this area. To assure that all moves are properly checked, you should use the standard Run or Fast Forward options when running the simulation.
Navigating the Reports
When the report window displays collisions (or other events) from the simulation, you can click that item in the list to have the simulation go directly to the spot in the program where the event happened.
