Machining
Program any CNC machine from the model of the part, then run that program against a model of the machine that will cut it.
One software
Scalable from CAM to CAD/CAM to the virtual twin
Prismatic parts, programmed from the model itself
Holes, pockets and faces are recognized on the model and turned into operations. A revised part updates its own program.
The virtual twin
Your machine is in the software
Your machine, with its kinematics, its travel limits, its head, its table, its tool changer and the fixtures on it. The program runs against that model, and the faults it finds are the faults the machine would have.
- 01Collisions and near missesTool, holder, spindle, fixture, part and machine body, checked against each other through the cut.
- 02Axis travel and reachA B axis asked to swing past its limit shows as a fault on screen.
- 03Material removalWhat is cut, what is left, and where the tool is running in air.
Before it reaches the machine
Integrated ISO code simulation
A toolpath is what the programmer draws. ISO code is what the controller reads, once the post-processor has translated it. The platform simulates that posted code against an emulator of your controller, for milling, turning and mill-turn.
- 01Checked in the same sessionThe code is checked where it was written, in one place.
- 02One interfaceThe programmer stays in the software they already use.
- 03Or the verifier you haveA one-click export to VERICUT, NCSIMUL and Eureka.

Questions we are asked
The six that come up on nearly every machining call
Why is the post-processor quoted separately?
A program is written once against the model of the part. The file the machine reads comes from a post-processor built for that machine on that controller, because every controller reads a different file. Machines of the same model on the same controller share a single post-processor, so five identical mills are one. We build these by hand, which makes them a service on the quote, and we specify them once the machine and the controller are settled.
Which post-processing comes included?
On cloud, Dassault Systèmes describe the embedded generator as covering machines up to 5 axis positioned. That is an axis count, and your controller is a separate question, so we check each machine and controller pair against it before quoting. Simultaneous 5 axis, mill-turn and unusual kinematics are built for the machine. On your own servers, post-processing is quoted per machine and controller pair.
How do I know which role I need?
By what you cut. Each programming role is sold on its own and they overlap in what they cover, so the role we quote follows the most demanding work in your shop. The quote guide works it out from your answers and shows you why.
Do we need a modeling role for every programmer?
You need at least one, and one covers the whole shop. Machine & Tooling Designer (EMR) or Shop Floor Equipment Engineer (EQE) authors the 3D machines with their kinematics. Every programmer then uses and simulates those machines with their own programming role. A shop that adds machines often gives the authoring role to a second person, since it is named to one user. Generic machines come with every programming role, so you can start on those and add real ones later.
We have CATIA V5 NC. Do we start again?
Your programs, tools and machines come across. Under maintenance there is a migration route that costs considerably less than buying the same roles new, and the two run in parallel while you move. Send us the license list and we will map it seat by seat.
We already use VERICUT. Does this replace it?
Dassault Systèmes publish a one-click export to VERICUT, NCSIMUL and Eureka, so the program is written here and checked where your process already checks it. The ISO code simulation inside the platform is there as an alternative whenever you want it.
