NX G code Simulation.. Clarification

[thirumalkumarn]

Dear all,
I've heard the new verions of NX has G code driven simulation.
then,
What are the functions we can expect from it & How it is different from Vericut..
Any key feature differences would be great..

Thx in advance
Thiru

I have just started using this and it seems pretty cool. I have not used Vericut machine simulation so I can not compare them. The NX simulation uses the G code output from the post. You must use Post Builder to create the post and machine tool driver.
It is included in the Mach bundle so for us it was not an extra cost item.

When did this become available, John ? NX 7 ?

I think it has been available for a while NX3 at least. We just upgraded our licenses to a Mach bundle rather than individual licenses. This provided us with more options than we had before.
