Hello There,
I’m trying to simulate a cutting process where a robot trims a shape using Visual Components OLP. I can program the robot to follow the trimming path, but I haven’t been able to simulate the removal of the trimmed part.
Is there a specific feature in Visual Components for simulating material removal during such operations? What’s the typical workflow for achieving this effect?
As captain_feature said, but it should be noted that there is no way to implement the real-time cutting function well in VC, which is a missing part of VC, which can only be reluctantly made by the Boolean calculation function, but the frequent use of the Boolean calculation function will cause the triangle surface of the component to be very chaotic, resulting in an unrecoverable hole, which needs to be noted.
You can take a look at the previous discussion on this topic:
There is also a compromise, for example, if you want to cut out the corners of a square, then you can merge the finished polygon and the cut triangle pyramid into a single square and then simulate it in VC, which is also a compromise and difficult for complex models.
