2.1 Informations on activation of the VERICUT interface
With this SP, you can start the VERICUT simulation directly from hyperVIEW. Please note, that for using the interface functionality, you need a license. Apply to your dealer.
For activation the functionality, proceed as follows:
First open InfoCenter.
Click the Registry > Applications > New entry
and enter VERICUT under Registry key.
(Note: only capitals are allowed). Now select under Program file the vericut.bat file from the correspondent directory of your VERICUT installation.
Start hyperVIEW and add the machine definition, whose NC output you want to verify with VERICUT (Machine tab).
In the bottom area of
the dialog, the No external Simulation entry appears by default. Please
activate here the VERICUT entry and click on the icon 
, to open the VERICUT
configuration dialog. Here you can select a machine model (file format: *.mch) and a controller (file format: *.ctl) for VERICUT. If no controller is selected, the generic APT interface is activated
In this case also an APT postprocessor is required!
Whit it all necessary settings for using the VERICUT interface are done.
As soon as you have generated NC programs for the changed machine afterwards, you can switch to VERICUT via the context menu NC-File > NC-File Simulation.
Before starting VERICUT, you were asked to specify a Directory and a Name for a VERICUT project file (*.vcproject). This file is used for information exchange between hyperVIEW and VERICUT.
Please note:
OPEN MIND supports VERICUT in version 6.0. with this SP. Former program versions are not supported.
2.2 Legal hint for the usage of tool machine models for machine tool simulation
The terms stated in the software license agreement are valid here as well. OPEN MIND especially doesn't warrant in any way in all cases where incorrect data and incorrect information delivered
by the licensee led to an incorrect machine tool model. Licensee shall make an incoming inspection immediately after delivery of each machine tool model.
