Simulation and simultaneous recording

9.1 Overview
Simulation
Simulation is supported with its own program interpreter (SNCK) and a separate simulation-
data environment in SINUMERIK Operate. The SNCK considers the complete syntax of the
SINUMERIK controller family, including the possibility of incorporating special user options
on the machine by comparing data with the NCK environment. The simulation data can be
matched statically as required with the NCK environment (initialization data, macros, user
data, tool data, machining cycles) or also dynamically when tool data or machining cycles
are changed.
Machining simulations, with emphasis on the drilling, milling and turning technologies, can be
performed in the workpiece coordinate system for certain machine kinematics on the user
interface of the controller:
● The simulation of the finished part is performed with the real NC data.
● The NC data is automatically compared at each change of the part program.
● The simulation allows a dynamic representation of the machining, even for active 5-axis
● Simulation of up to four machining channels for turning machines with B axis.
● Intelligent determination of the block times and the program execution time.
● Very fast graphical representation through the continuous refinement of the workpiece.
● Optimum resolution for each selected picture area.
● Any sections are possible.
● In parallel to the machining of one workpiece, the machining of another workpiece can be
● 3D simulation 1 (option): In addition, the simulation can be extended to 3D
