Analysis Tab

The Analysis tab contains various features related to comparing simulation processes and examining NC Program data. All features will be summarized on this page but each hyperlinked feature can be clicked on to see a more detailed description for more information.

Model group

  • Display Tool to Stock Collisions — removes the model to display only the collision elements so that they can be investigated with more ease. Pressing the button again reverts the image back to full view. This button is only active once a collision has been detected.
Before button is pressed After button is pressed

  • AUTO-DIFF — opens the AUTO-DIFF window enabling you to compare design model data against the Vericut simulated cut model.

  • Compare — performs the same action as the Compare by Region tab of the AUTO-DIFF window.

  • Comparator — opens the Comparator window enabling you to select a DXF file containing a two-dimensional drawing, representing the design model, which you can overlay on the Stock model or the Cut Stock or to overlay a polar or rectangular grid over a workpiece or machine view to emulate an optical comparator chart.

Toolpath group

  • Perform Syntax Check — causes Vericut to check all NC program and NC Subroutine files referenced by the “current” setup for syntax errors.

  • NC Program Preview — puts Vericut in NC Program Preview mode which is similar to NC Program Review mode except that it displays a tool trace representing the NC toolpath and the design model. Also, NC Program Preview can be used without processing the NC program first, unlike NC Program Review.

  • NC Program Review — activates NC Program Review mode enabling you to quickly and easily view, replay, and edit a previously processed NC program (toolpath).
