Abstract:
1. A processing path generation method that generates a path of a tool by calculating a positional and attitudinal relationship between a device of an NC processing machine and the tool, and a work through simulation executed by a computer, comprising: calculating a closest distance between the tool and the work for each of a plurality of arbitrary points on the tool path; awarding a score to each of the plurality of arbitrary points in accordance with a distance and a direction of the work from the tool based on a result of the calculation; totaling the awarded scores based on the calculation result as a score at a point on the tool path to set a score of the path; repeating the steps of calculating the closest distance, awarding a score, and totaling the scores to set the score of the path for a plurality of patterns each having processing direction of the work and the tool posture changed; and displaying a list of the total scores of the plurality of patterns each having processing direction of the work and the tool posture changed.
