Simulation, optimization software

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

CGTech will demonstrate version 9.0 of Vericut CNC machine simulation and optimization software in booth #1337 at Westec 2019. Vericut simulates real NC data on digital twin machines to prevent crashes, identify conflicts between setups and tooling, and ensure machined parts match engineering designs.

Vericut 9.0 features several enhancements designed to increase power and improve efficiency:

  • Save time with instant access to viewing the workpiece, CNC machine, or both
  • Auto-configure Vericut for optimization with improved connectivity to tooling websites and cloud repositories
  • Use major functions (like Section, X-Caliper and Auto-Diff) in any view
  • Easily switch between workpiece and machine views, layouts and docking arrangements

CGTech will also demonstrate Vericut’s Force optimization module at Westec. Vericut + Force provides an integrated simulation-optimization solution that can significantly reduce machining times and improve cutting tool and machine life. All NC programs, new or old, can be optimized with Force to run as efficiently and safely as possible. Force is available for milling, turning, and mill-turn machines.
