When you simulate a job in hyperMILL, you aren't just watching the cutter move; the software is running the exact G-code that the post processor will generate. This means:
| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Post kinematics definition error. | Edit the machine model in PPGen. | | G-code cycles not working | Post uses wrong cycle syntax for the controller. | Modify cycle output definitions in the post. | | Machine moves through part | Post missing safe retract or approach moves. | Adjust the "linking" and "clearance plane" logic. | | Probe cycles missing | Post not configured for probing macros. | Add custom probing macro support (requires advanced editing). | | Post stops mid-program | Incorrect M-code or missing end-of-block character (e.g., ; vs LF ). | Check the post's formatting rules. |
A is a critical software component that acts as a translator. In the CAM workflow:
The gap between a digital design and a physical part is bridged by code. In hyperMILL, the post processor is not an afterthought—it is a core component of the software architecture.
It leverages specific controller intelligence, such as control cycles, path correction, and free work planes.
