Hello Did a job in Fusion 360 and generated GCode. I also did simulation in Fusion and it gives me a machining time of 10min22 (in gcode comments, it is written 9min1) Then I open it in Control and it gives me a machining time of 3hours50min20 (bottom left) and indeed it is really slow while simulating. What did I misunderstand or did wrong?
It would not be 100% accurate, but in this case the difference is quite significant. I would bet Fusion's estimate is more accurate, it generated the gcode after all Will check why Control overestimates it so much for you next week sometime
yep but my goal was to simulate in order to be sure my values (feedrate typically) were correct before to run the job
Understood, but will be interesting part of tracing the issue when we look at it as usually it is quite close, so lets measure the actual runtime, see if that offers some insight
I did an aircut of it in Friday and it ran for 34mins. Its on the list of test files. Will checkout why some time. But good to see Fusion is wrong too hehe
I took a look in Fusion and in machining time, there is a parameter for "rapid feed" (which is when the tool is moving outside the material) which is set to 30 000mm/min. If I set it to 1500mm/min (which is my feedrate), the estimation time is 28min
