Manual

How to operate the HiNC web application: what is true on every screen, the equipment a simulation runs against, the run itself, and the supporting screens beside it. This section is reference knowledge looked up on demand — it describes the application as it is, screen by screen, rather than carrying a job from end to end.

Ordered as a job goes: learn the frame, build the setup, run it, and reach for a utility when the job needs one.

For a first end-to-end run rather than a reference, start with Basic Machining Simulation.

Chapters

• Basics — The sign-in gate and what is true behind it: the window frame, the project the rest of the application is configured against, the ways one screen leads to another, the preferences, and the surfaces that report what the service is doing
• Setup — The machine tool, spindle, fixture, workpiece and controller a simulation runs against, where each is placed relative to the machine, and the tool house and coolant around them
• Running a Simulation — The command list a run executes, playing it, watching it, reading a single step, and diagnosing what went wrong
• Utilities — The supporting screens the Page menu lists below its first separator: the server's file explorer and the mechanism builder
