Fusion 360 craches during cam simulation

[danielklimek92]

Dear community

I´m using Fusion360 mainly for it´s CAM module for a few months already.

A few days ago, after I´ve created t quite large 3d milling project, the cam simulation suddenly stopped working.

Now, I can´t start the cam simulation even with older projects were it worked before or with new projects.

The toolpaths of the operations are calculated correctly and are shown as a preview, but a soon as I start the simulation, the simulation tab opens, but the simulation doesn´t start and I can´t close the simulation tab anymore. When I click the "show" button, Fusion360 crashes and has to be restarted.

I already tried a repair install, uninstalled and reinstalled the program, Windows 10 is up to date.

There were also several error reports which were uploaded, the last one had the ID 329857386.

I don´t know what I can do anymore, without the simulation, Fusion360 is almost useless for me since I can´t check the G-Code for errors anymore.

With kind regards

Daniel

Couple things I would try;

1) Turn this off in the MFG Workspace:

 2) Toggle this option. If it's on, turn it off, and vise versa

I´ve tried to change both settings.

At first, nothing changed. I still wasn´t able to start the manufacturing sim.

Then I noticed some strange behavior of Fusion360: When I tried to switch to the design workspace after I started a simulation, all tools and workspaces disappeared, but the cam simulation tool appeared, which only worked a little bit: It was  showing the correct tool positions, but the simulation didn´t show up in the 3d space.

After another restart, suddenly the cam simulation started to work properly again, not matter how the 2 settings are set.

The problem seems to be solved somehow, even if I have no idea what caused it or removed it.

That's bizarre, and less than helpful 😞
