Claim:
1. A computer-implemented simulation apparatus of a numerical controller that controls a movable unit of a machine tool on the basis of a machining program, the machining program including a machining cycle command for generating a series of movement commands from designated work shape data and machining conditions, the simulation apparatus comprising: an image displaying device; an execution unit configured to analyze the machining program and, when a command of the analyzed machining program is a machining cycle command, sequentially generate movement commands for the movable unit from the designated work shape data and machining conditions; a memory configured to store the series of movement commands generated by the execution unit; and a display unit configured to display the simulation apparatus is configured to wherein the execution unit is configured to invoke any one of the stored series of movement commands displayed in the third display area, and to execute the invoked movement commands.
