Abstract
The invention relates to a method of displaying a shape of a material and a shape of a product for a speedy machining simulation. In the machining simulation wherein the shape of the material, the shape of the product, and a shape of a tool are displayed as images on a display unit, and portions of the image of the material and the image of the product overlapping the image of the tool are successively eliminated, the shape of the product in accordance with a portion to be machined is displayed as a line image indicating only an outline of the product, on the other hand, the shape of the material is displayed as a plane image indicating an area in correspondence with a machining allowance, in case that the material includes the portion to be machined which is formed by adding the specified machining allowance to the outline of the product. Therefore, a data input in relation to the shape of the material can be simplified, whereby the speedy machining simulation is enabled.
