Simulation apparatus and method for NC machining
First Claim
1. An NC machining simulation method in which machining using a plurality of mechanical elements is simulated in accordance with an NC machining program, comprising the steps of:
- computing a movement path of at least one of the mechanical elements when simulation is being performed;
memorizing the movement path; and
performing a replay simulation for the at least one of the mechanical elements based on the memorized movement path in response to a replay instruction.

Abstract
A simulation control section 210 of an NC machining simulation apparatus 10 computes a movement path of a mechanical element when performing simulation. A ring buffer 270 memorizes the movement path of the mechanical element. In response to a replay instruction, the simulation control section 210 reads the movement path from the ring buffer 270. The simulation control section 210 then displays the mechanical element on a display device 190 as a solid model based on the movement path for replaying the simulation.
