building a custom virtual machine for machine simulation
I made a brief video on how to make a custom simulation-machine.
No special tool is required, except to build a graphical model itself.
I built my machine in solidworks so I had all files for my machine, exported all of them as IGES for rhino reading, and there made groups of graphical modules, exported as STL files at lowest graphical setting.
** dynamic features are not something you need to make STL files. they are auto-generated by solidcam when module is called.
they are generated and then located at the transform location defined in machine setup.
