eMotion Sample
eMotion is an advanced sample, which demonstrates usage of Boolean Operations for simulation of CNC
machining. It also demonstrates programming of 3D movements and usage of CAM 3D
Effects.
The application
On start the application loads Models\Samples\eMotion.mdg model, which consists
of two: workpiece (blue) and cutter (yellow) objects. Press Simulate button on
the start to see 3D animation of the main functionality. Movement of the cutter
object is editable. The Moves list box contains list of separate moves.
The Current Move group of controls displays properties of the move currently
selected in the list. Moves are either linear or circular in this sample.
Contact us if your application needs more general types of moves or cutters.
A move is defined by its translations along each axis from the current position.
A move can be cutting or not.
To modify movement of the cutter: select a move in the Moves list. Modify the
Translation offsets, turn on/off "Cutting Move" check box if needed. Press
Modify to save the change. Repeat the above for another move if needed. Turn on
"Dry Run" check box and press Simulate to see preliminary animation of the
movement. Clear "Dry Run" check box and press Simulate to execute the cutting
operation.
After the operation has finished press Home button to view the result. The
operation can be repeated after a modification of the movement
The Reset command discards results of all previous operations and restores
initial state of the application.
When results of an operation are available, select a cutting move (cut 1 or cut 2)
in the list box and turn on "Show Swept Volume" check box to see the volume
swept by the cutter object during the move.
