AFP, ATL, & CFW Composite Machine Certification Info Icon
NCSIMUL 2022.3 has a new module to simulate the Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), Automated Tape Laying (ATL) and Continuous Filament Winding (CFW) machines. For each these, it can verify and control the steering angles, pin positions, as well as other specific alarm and collision detection. The results can be exported or compared against an imported neutral fiber, providing yet another solution for certifying any manufacturing process that the users may come across.

Electrode Tool Verification

Electrode Tool Verification

Users can verify the electrode tools with NCSIMUL 2022.3 all the way up to 3+2 axis motion. Users can import any 3D model that they wish and combine them with any variety of other tooling they may use. Now, while running difficult to handle parts that require an EDM process, users can feel confident that the G-code will behave exactly the same way as per the real machining process.

 
Cutting Chips and Rotating Tools

Cutting Chips and Rotating Tools

For a better visual experience, users can now see the chip material removal, full rotation of the tool and holder, and animated coolant. Users can also import full representations of milling tool flutes and reliefs. This can be a quick way to catch an issue in the G-code or verify side by side with the real machine what exactly is happening.

 
User Interface Improvements and Ribbon Organization

User Interface Improvements and Ribbon Organization

The streamlined left-to-right process of creating a new project has been further simplified. In addition, there are functionalities inside in the job tree and the setup creation, such as being able to see the full machine kinematics. These improvements will help users to save time while creating projects, giving them a better overall user experience.

 
Global CAM Interface Improvements

Global CAM Interface Improvements

NCSIMUL 2022.3 brings improvements to all CAM systems across the board, simplifying the process of passing the data to NCSIMUL. More flexibility and customization while setting automatic functions and defaults, is now available. This will enable users to certify the G-code quickly.
