Increasing Vericut Speed

Hi Gents:

Is there a way to increase the simulating speed of Vericut. I am doing Mach Sim. but running workpiece view. Still with the slide bar to the max it is kind of slow. Means not too slow. But I was looking for an option somewhere to incerease the slide bar speed ratio. something like if it is set at 10lines/sec I would like to modify it to the max may be 100lineof codes/sec. Can I do that  :? . Yes I am running OpenGL. How else can I improve the vericut simulation speed????? All suggestions are appreaciated.

Vericut Version: 6.1.1
Windows: 64bit
Ram: 4GB

Thanks

With Regards

Zac.

Disable animation.
For multi-axis tool paths disable FastMill, sometimes 3+2 axis is considered multi-axis too.

Re: Increasing Vericut Speed

The min/max of the slide bar is controlled by Min. Motion Dist and Max Motion Dist in the Motion control page.  Changing the Max to a bigger number will help speed up longer moves. 

Also to speed up rotary tables, tool changers etc, go to Configuration, Control Settings, Rotary and change Output Intermediate Points to NO.

Also under the motion control you can modify the settings for Drill Cycle, Holder display, etc.

Collision checking enabled also slows the system.   

You may want to uncheck the Machine Simulation under Configuration Machine Settings if all you are using is the workpiece view.   

If you are not checking small features, before processing change the values in File, Properties, Tolerance.  The Cutting, model and interpolation tolerances change the speed AND resoulution of the cuts.  We start Vericut with a script and offer the users 3 modes for these tolerances, precision, intermediate and fast.   Users only run precision when they need to verify very small features.

Now if we could get all of these moved/added to the motion interface we could have one stop shopping for "Speed" settings.
