Need Help!- v23 post

[1234567]

why wont my predator editor run a simulation when i post a program useing the osp-u100m post.It works for my fanuc post.and it does include a predator header at the start of the program.It will draw out the stock but no tool path.Also im useing v-23 pro

[BurrMan]

Can you post a simple sample of the code it outputs?

if i turn off solid and animation i can see back plotting but its not very good.

[BurrMan]

I may not be too much help here. It appears to me that the tool info is missing for the feature cuts. (The default predator needed info).

I believe you may want to go to the edit menu and click template. (Make a new template from one of the defaults) then set some of those parameters to match the code your outputting...Toolchanges and whatnot.

I'm not very good in this area and may be wrong. Maybe somebody else can chime in here that can be more help.

i check that out thanks

You are most likely going to need to edit your RVP file.

The RVP file is to the simulation as a post file is to your machine.

The code you posted doesn't use a T# M06 tool call. So predator is not seeing the tool calls because it's RVP file is looking for T# M06 ....

Are we talking "Backplotting the code in Editor"? Thats what I thought. If we are talking rvp cheat to the VCNC program, then, thats a bit much
