Totally capable

Vericut has long been tightly integrated with NX software via a robust ‘NX to Vericut' interface, and now customers using this interface can reference an NX part file from within their verification session. For existing NX to Vericut users, no additional licenses are required as Vericut opens the part file using the installed NX software.

“The Siemens PLM Software/ CGTech partnership adds value for NX users by providing a single versatile CNC simulation analysis and optimisation tool and this enhancement gives NX users a more streamlined experience by reducing the number of files to manage,” explained CGTech UK's managing director, John Reed. “This enhancement increases the benefits of CGTech's NX interface, which offers users of Vericut's G Code and machine simulation capabilities a simple way of configuring simulations for complex machines and machining processes.”

The interface sets-up and runs Vericut directly from NX's manufacturing menus, automatically referencing design, stock, and fixture models, NC programs, and tooling information in Vericut. Vericut simulates both CLSF and post processed G code NC programs for even the most complex CNC machine tools and controls and in version 7.0, the NX interface was enhanced to enable specifying NC subprograms and subroutines to be simulated in Vericut.
