Analysis

Theory, principles, and evaluation techniques for interpreting simulation results and understanding machining physics.

Physics and Coordinates

• Milling Physics Coordinates — Coordinate systems used in milling physics

Tool Behavior and Wear

• Process Machinability — Evaluating process machinability
• Tool Life & Wear — Tool life and wear modes
• Cutter Adjustment Levers — Overhang, core radius, and material-grade levers for reducing force peaks without changing the NC
• Relief Face Avoidance — Minimum relief angle and clearance
• Radial Angle Measurement — Measuring radial rake and relief angles
• CAM Floating-Point Drift — A subtle CAM-NC issue that most workflows miss: sub-thousandth-mm drift between layers triggers floor-contact force peaks. HiNC detects and diagnoses it.

Simulation Performance

• CPU Usage in Simulation — CPU utilization during simulation
• Corner Feedrate Behavior — Why optimized feed rates are lower at corners

Advanced Topics

• Smart Holder Training — Smart tool holder coefficient training
• Spindle Capability — Boundary curves, thermal envelope, and the four torque/power ratios
• Spindle Power Evaluation — Spindle power accuracy validation
• NC Optimization Principles — Optimization objectives and tracking
