    Machine Simulation

    Hi,

    I have created machine sim for my horizontal milling machine and its working.
    However, when I run simulation the machine is very small. A part 10"x10"x10" is gigantic compere to the machsim.
    I don't know what I'm doing wrong,

    Re: Machine Simulation

    Your machine not the correct scale .If its drawing in inches it needs to be drawn in millimeters.

    How do I switch do mm?
    Do I have to rebuild the machsim from beginning?

    Check your simulation software settings to see if there is a scaling option that needs to be adjusted. Make sure the units of measurement in your simulation Snow Rider 3D match the units of measurement in your CAD software.

    if the models for the kinematics were mad in inch and you want them to be in Metric. open them up and scale them by 25.4.
