Abstract
It is provided a computer-implemented method for simulating the machining of a workpiece with a cutting tool having a cutting part and a non-cutting part. The method comprises providing a modeled volume representing the workpiece and a trajectory of the cutting tool; determining a colliding sweep of the cutting tool, wherein the colliding sweep represents the volume swept by the non-cutting front of the cutting tool when the cutting tool follows the trajectory; testing a collision with the workpiece according to the determining step. Such a method improves the simulation of the machining of a workpiece with a cutting tool.
