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:

  1. Select Toolpath > Simulation > Load Simulation or click   to display the Load Simulation dialog.
  2. 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.

  3. Click Open.
