Advanced checks in the simulation
Application
The Advanced checks function allows checking in the Simulation workspace if collisions will occur between, for example, the workpiece and the tool.

Description of function
The Advanced checks function can be used only in the Editor operating mode.
When activating the Advanced checks toggle switch, the control opens the Advanced checks window.
The Advanced checks window allows activating the following tests:
- Rapid-traverse cut
The control displays a warning in case material is removed at rapid traverse. The control displays material removal at rapid traverse in red in the simulation.
- Workpiece collision
The control displays a warning in case of collisions between the tool carrier or tool shank and the workpiece.
- Fixture collision
The control displays a warning in case of collisions between the tool and the workpiece fixture.
The control also considers inactive steps of a stepped tool.
You can activate several test at the same time.

Notes
- The Advanced checks function helps reduce the danger of collision. However, the control cannot consider all possible constellations during operation.
- The Advanced checks function in the simulation uses the information from the workpiece blank definition for workpiece monitoring. Even if several workpieces are clamped in the machine, the control can monitor only the active workpiece blank!
