Abstract
The present invention relates to a more convenient machining simulation apparatus for simulating a machining operation in accordance with an NC program. The machining simulation apparatus is adapted to display the configuration of a tool and the configuration of a workpiece on a display device ( ) and change the tool configuration and the workpiece configuration on the display device ( ) in accordance with the NC program so as to check the movement and machining state of the tool on the display device ( ). The apparatus includes a process image data storage section ( ) for storing therein pixel data generated at the end of a machining process precedent to the designated machining process from the process image data storage section ( ) to display the tool configuration and the workpiece configuration on the display device ( ) and successively re-generates pixel data to display the tool configuration and the workpiece configuration on the display device ( ).
