How to sim. an operation when your part has many ops & the 1 you need is at end?

[jgaertner]

Anybody know if there is a way to run simulation with stock when all you want is something like to drill

a hole or countersink a hole and these operations are at the very end of a LONG machining process, like

12 hours? I am on DSL so "scrubbing" through the sim time line does not work well for me! Also when I have so 

many ops the time line for something like a drill op is tiny on the time line. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

See attached picture with all the operations I am doing for this one part... Drill and Counter Sink are the last two ops on a long, drawn out machining. (Long for me, not for you guys with Hass or the large capacity machines 🙂  )

Hi, If you hover your mouse over the time line and scroll your mouse wheel the timeline expands so you can see small machining time ops, Should make selecting that op to watch easier.

Wow! Thank you, that is so awesome. I can now see the drill and countersink ops on my time line. 

I did not know about the zoom feature with the mouse wheel. Also, as an aside for others, I changed

the settings on my sim to "Wall Paint" and extreme quality so I could see the details better. It was

all multi colored before. Appreciate the help.   Jgaertner

Just a note; DSL doesn't matter to the Manufacture side, as everything is handled locally.

Hello Seth, OK, I did not know that. For some reason I thought it was all done in the cloud?  Still wish we could

get high speed internet here in the boonies but that is not going to happen.  Jgaertner

As of right now, here's a short list of what is done in the cloud:

Rendering

Generative Design

Some simulation solves (I think)

Storage

Cloud Libraries

All CAM calculations and simulations are handled locally.
