FlatAngle leads to PowerMill crash

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Apr 2021 13:59:24 GMT

Hi Guys,

i got a problem with the automatic corner milling toolpath (atached in zip).

When i try to calculate the toolpath PowerMill is going to crash.

But if i change the parameter EDIT PAR 'FlatAngle' "165" to "164" it is working.

i already got problems with this parameter in the past when it was at "170".

simply reducing it seems to help since now, but what if the next model is just working with "163"?

Changing the parameter EDIT PAR 'Filter.Type' 'redistribute'

to for example 'strip' does also help, but in some cases the toolpath doesn't come out as it should.

Does anybody got a similar problem or has already another solution for this toolpath?

i attached the project so you could give it a try 🙂

Kind regards, Josua

More often than not, I end up maxing out the detection limit to 176. This usually solves the crashing problem. For some reason, with automatic pathing, the default 165 doesn't like to work. In my experience at least.

If I end up with sliced segments, I will reduce it to around 173 and it turns out the way I want.
