Hello. You can find a lot of examples with simulation on youtube. Also, I advise you to see examples that are included in your SprutCAM (Examlpes folder) - There are already done projects, so you can practice on them.
how do you get your model into " simulation " so your machining on your model and not a block..? Are there any videos that go thru this and the set-up..?

Have you figured this out? I have made some progress doing the same thing, but not perfect yet.
I have a piece I cut on a waterjet that I would take my mill for a final operation. I created a CAD file of the rough waterjet part, and another of the finished part after milling. I imported both models, one as the part and one as the workpiece.
Seemed to work great. I no longer had the block around the part. The workpiece was the model I imported. Before I did this I had unnecessary tool paths cutting air instead of being limited to the actual workpiece.
The simulation is odd, however. It shows material underneath the workpiece. The top contour is correct, it is the workpiece I imported, but the bottom is not.
Close, but not quite right yet. Suggestions would be appreciated.
Changing to Voxel 5D didn't alter anything. But changing simulation to SOLID worked. Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction.
