Abstract
A method simulates a machining of a workpiece by a tool. The method populates a swept volume representing a motion of the tool in relation to the workpiece with a set of rays, and determines a volume removed from the workpiece by the swept volume based on intersections of at least some rays with the workpiece. A model of the workpiece is modified based on the removed volume.
