Library Files¶
Library File Overview¶
In the following discussion the term "Vericut" represents Vericut or Vericut Composite Simulation. Any exceptions will be noted within the topic.
This section provides information about the library files installed with Vericut ("library" folder in your Vericut installation). Library files are included in every installation, and include:
General Purpose Library Files¶
The following types of General Purpose Library Files are included:
Vericut default files — Default files opened by Vericut. The files are configured to perform a short simulation when Play is pressed. Two sets of files provide demonstrations for inch (vericut.*) and metric (vericutm.*) environments.
Vericut initialization files — Initialization files opened by Vericut via File tab > New Project. Two sets of files provide initialization for inch (init.*) and metric (initm.*) environments.
Library Control Files¶
Library Control Files are example NC machine controls intended to help you configure Vericut for simulating G-Code NC Programs that run on popular NC machining centers composite, tape laying machines or automatic drilling and fastener machines.
Library Machine Files¶
Library Machine Files are example NC machines intended to help you configure Vericut for simulating G-Code NC Programs that run on popular NC machining centers and composite tape laying machines.
The files available in the above categories will vary depending on whether you are using Vericut or Vericut Composite Simulation.
General Purpose Library Files¶
The general purpose library files are listed below in alphabetical order.
| Library file name: | Usage: | Notes: |
|---|---|---|
| Init_af.VcProject (in), initm_af.VcProject (mm) |
Initialization files for Vericut Drill and Fastener Simulation - clears settings from the prior simulation, then configures Vericut Drill and Fastener Simulation with default settings for inch (init_af.*) or metric (initm_af.*) environments. | Automatically loaded by Vericut Drill and Fastener Simulation when Configuration tab > Preferences is set to Open standard Vericut project or when Configuration tab > Preferences is set to Start a new project and you select Cancel in the New Vericut Project window. (Inch/Millimeter) |
