Has anyone got experience or knowlege on how to define a machine in the machine simulation module? I have the module (add-on), but all I see is the workpiece and the tool when I do a simulation...no machine.
Thanks!!

Yeas, I have done that. You need to build an assembly of your machine in SolidWorks and save each element as a STL file referenced from a common point. Then you use the STL files to build the machine in MachSim.

Have a look in the five axis manual - the last two chapters explain everything.

Thanks. I don't have a manual, but I think I can get one!
