    Any way to get simulation to actually simulate your machine's acceleration?

    I know what my machine's accel values are, and if Fusion 360 did, it might actually be able to give me some accurate simulation times. With a lot of tight corners, I end up with 2x or more actual machining time than their best case scenario estimates. It's hard to compare which toolpaths are best if I don't know the actual times for them.

    You can write a postprocessor to incorporate these times. Take the setup-sheet as a basis. It will take you some time though...

    the post processor is involved in the simulation in Fusion360?

    No, but you can influence the cycle time calculation on the setup sheet

    Okay.
    Thanks.
