Simulating an NC program up to a certain NC block
Application
If you want to check a critical point in the NC program then you can simulate the NC program up to a specific NC block that you specify. Once the NC block is reached in the simulation, the control stops the simulation automatically. Starting from this NC block you can then continue the simulation, for example in Single Block mode or at a lower simulation speed.

Description of function
This function can be used only in the Editor operating mode.
- The Run simulation up to block number window with a defined NC block
The following settings options are offered in the Run simulation up to block number window:
- Program
This field offers a selection menu in which you can choose to simulate up to a specific NC block in the active main program or in a called program.
- Block number
In the Block number field, you enter the number of the NC block up to which the simulation should run. The number of the NC block refers to the NC program selected in the Program field.
- Repetitions
Use this field if the desired NC block is located within a program-section repeat. Enter in this field up to which iteration of the program-section repeat the simulation should run.
If you enter 1 or 0 in the Repetitions field, the control simulates up to the first iteration of the program section (repetition "0").
