Using QUEST

This section describes how to create and maintain Virtual Machine models using the Icam QUEST Developer’s System. It explains how to define the kinematics (i.e., axes) of the CNC machine, how to flesh out the model by creating and/or importing machine components and enabling or disabling collision testing of these components, and how to customize the model to support special features.

You should familiarize yourself with the following topics to effectively build VM machine models.

• QUEST User Interface
• Basic Model Requirements
• Creating a Virtual Machine Model
• Adding Kinematics to the Model
• Adding Physical Entities to the Model
• Collision Testing
• Selection Groups
• Customizing the Model
• Testing the Model
• Wrapping Up
