Toolpath > Simulation > Load Simulation
Use this menu option to load a simulation from a
Carveco Relief (.rlf) file. The resulting
simulation is displayed in the 3D view.
The Load Simulation button on the Simulation toolbar and the Simulation panel is a shortcut for this menu option.
The availability of this button is license dependent.
The Simulation toolbar
is hidden by default. To display the toolbar, right-click a docking area and
select Simulation in the context menu. The
availability of this button is license dependent.
If you load a toolpath simulation when another is already
displayed in the 3D view, the current simulation is replaced.
To load a simulation from a Carveco Relief (.rlf) file:
- Select Toolpath > Simulation
> Load Simulation or click to display the Load Simulation
dialog.
- Select the file.
In the Model Preview
area you can see a preview of the selected relief file. A greyscale
representation of the selected relief file is displayed in the Relief Info area along with its dimensions in
pixels.
When choosing a relief, the greyscale representation shown in
the Relief Information area provides an
indication of the form that a resulting simulation will take. Consider that the
brightest areas of the greyscale image reflect the highest areas in the
resulting simulation, while the darkest areas reflect the lowest.
- Click Open.
