Welcome
  This tutorial is going to show you how to use Pro|ENGINEER Mechanism animation to do a 3 axis milling machine simulation.

This tutorial will only show how to use an already build mechanism describing a 3 axis milling machine (HAAS or FADAL for example) with XY motion on the table and Z motion on the tool.

In this tutorial you will learn how to

  • Setup your NC toolpath to use it on the machine simulation
  • Use the post-processor provided with the machine to generate the data for the mechanism drivers
  • Pro|ENGINEER Mechanism Setup
    • Load the manufacturing models and the tool in your mechanism
    • Setup the drivers for the mechanism
  • Play the simulation
