HiNC Documentation

HiNC is a virtual machine tool and milling simulation software by Tech Coordinate. It performs pre-machining verification and optimization through high-precision simulation and milling physics analysis — including cutting force, moment, deflection, heat, wear, and more.

Where to Start

• Running a job from end to end. Workflows takes one job from the data you have to the result you want, in order, in a single page.
• Operating the application. Manual is the screen-by-screen reference for the HiNC web application — the frame, the equipment, the run, and the supporting screens.
• Understanding why the numbers come out the way they do. Technique carries the milling physics, machine capability, measurement and NC optimization knowledge, independently of any screen.
• Writing C# against the HiAPI packages. Technique also carries the developer layer — API foundations, scripting, rendering, the mechanism topology and the NC dialects — and the API Reference is its generated class-by-class companion.

Sections

Every entry below is a section index: it states its own ordering principle and lists what it holds, so navigation is top-down — this page, then the section index, then the sub-folder index, then the page.

• Manual — Operating the web application, chapter by chapter: basics, setup, running a simulation, utilities
• Workflows — End-to-end task guides, each read start to finish
• Technique — The durable knowledge behind the numbers: milling physics, machine capability, measurement, NC optimization, and the API layer applications are built on
• App Anatomy — The shipped applications broken down component by component: view ↔ model ↔ source
• API Reference — The generated C# class and method reference for the HiAPI packages
• Release Note — What changed in each release, and what upgrading costs
• Product — About Tech Coordinate, system requirements, license terms, activation and multi-station setup
