Machine Simulation

I'm running my machining offset from an angled part surface. When attempting to use the machine simulation the machine model attaches in line with the part WCS, however my part and fixture need to be flat on the table, not angled with the setup Z axis. I've tried to work around the problem by tilting the machine simulation model to match that of the Z axis in offset in the machining setup, but the c axis will only rotate inline with the Z axis of the file origin. Is there a way to use machine simulation when using datums described here?

I've put a lot of work into this project, so understandably I don't just wanna go posting it on a forum. However I have recreated the issue in, (Test Part) and attached the tilted machine simulation model I've been using, its been tipped over 3 degrees, hopefully you'll see the C axis misbehaving. 

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I have looked at the file but its not clear from it or the description in your post what you are actually trying to achieve(there are no toolpaths in the setup).

Normally you would set your WCS so the part is in the real life position when the A axis is zero, then use Tool Orientation in the toolpath to tilt the machine to whatever angle you wish to machine on.

 

I did notice your tool attachment point is in the wrong place:

It should be here

The part attachment should probably be here, but there are various reasons why you may have it different

You also have Faces selected as rotation points for A and C where the should really be defined by a point or circular edge like this:

This was causing the A axis to move incorrectly.

 

Also nothing selected for the Static part, this should be the Base Component

 

Try fixing these issues and see if that solves your problem
