So I have been through the knowledge guides and all the previous threads I could find and thought I would bring this up one more time.
The time estimation is just plain garbage. It is inconsistent and always underestimating machining time compared to what it actually takes. I am running small parts so my largest cam file is 150k. I got the times from right clicking the setup and clicking machining times. I then input my tool change time which I intentionally make it double the 1.4 secs my machine is capable of and then I input half of my rapids feed (this is done to compensate in the event I run at half rapids). So by all right when running my job with full rapids it should take less time than what fusion is saying. So I decided to look into simulation time as well as setup sheet time and they are all over the place. The programs are fully loading in my control so there is no lag time loading as has been suggested by your staff in other posts on this. Actually everything I have read from the fusion staff so far has been more trying to point the blame at everyone else rather than figuring out why your calculations are inconsistent within the program. Example. Right clicking setup1 under setups - selecting machining time = 0:01:54, Simulation time = 0:02:49, Setup sheet time = 0:02:29... How is anyone supposed to accurately bid a job where they don't lose money when your projections are all over the place. I don't expect it to be 100% but it certainly should be better than 60%
