What options besides Vericut?

[Tesla77]

I am running Wildfire 4.0 and my company did not renew the Vericut license this time. I have a floating license for NC-Advanced and the Tool_Design_Set


What other options are there to simulate the cutter paths?


Is Vericut all that can run with ProE?


The date code is M150


Thank you for any help on this.

Are you talking about verifying cl-code or G-code?
If cl the basic Vericut should still be available to you,
if not you can change the nccheck_type to nccheck (this
is the old Pro/Mfg way of checking your cl-file/path).
Some tools are not supported with this.
There are a couple of standalone programs you can check
out for both g-code and cl-files
One is predator http://www.predator-software.com/ and the
other is a simulation by Icam (Campost)
http://www.icam.com

Hope this helps

think they are both very good standalone simulation
solutions by a big margin.

I have worked with NX and its simulator and still lacks
some functionality. I don
