Simulate with Machine, stock moves on table

I am testing a machine setup and axes are moving correctly, but the stock material is moving on the table during simulation. I am missing details about how to attach it to the static table.

A link to the file is below. Any help is appreciated.

Hi

 

This is because your kinematics tree is wrong.

 

This machine has XYZ on the head with a fixed table, you have it set as XYZ on the table with a fixed head:

It should be like this:

You will also need to correctly set your XYZ travel limits as X and Y are waay off from where they should be, its possible you have the numbers for max/min inverted

Thanks a.lass,
I fixed the kinematics, but the stock still moves in simulation mode.
I also checked the motion, which is correct in Machine Builder, but travel direction inverts when it opens in simulation mode. I double checked that all WCS orientation matches, so not sure how the inversion is happening.
I've been struggling with this for a bit, so anything else you notice would be appreciated (still n the learning curve here).

Hi

 

When you update the machine, you need to deselect the machine in your setup, then goto machine library and delete it from the document.

 

Then you can re select the machine from your machine library to update it.

 

If I get time later I might have a more detailed look

Success!
Deleting the documents and setting up a new machine worked.
Simulation is working correctly now, with stock fixed to table and correct travel orientation and limits.

Cheers
