Overview

In this chapter you learn how you can use SIMOTION CamTool to create and optimize a cam, and to make the simulation settings. In addition, you learn how you can use CamTool to edit a cam created with CamEdit and how you can export a cam as a text file.

Note

The following operating instructions primarily describe the operation of SIMOTION CamTool using the functions in the menu bar.

You can also execute the functions from the context menus. In this case, right-click the element that you want to edit.

You can also execute the most import functions using the icons in the SIMOTION CamTool toolbar. Pay attention to the Tooltip which is displayed when you place the mouse pointer on an icon in the toolbar.
