<p>The present invention relates to a more convenient machining simulation apparatus for simulating a machining operation in accordance with an NC program. The machining simulation apparatus is adapted to display the configuration of a tool and the configuration of a workpiece on a display device (31) and change the tool configuration and the workpiece configuration on the display device (31) in accordance with the NC program so as to check the movement and machining state of the tool on the display device (31). The apparatus includes a process image data storage section (27) for storing therein pixel data generated at the end of each machining process by an image data generating section (21). The image data generating section (21), in response to designation of a machining process externally inputted thereto, reads pixel data generated at the end of a machining process precedent to the designated machining process from the process image data storage section (27) to display the tool configuration and the workpiece configuration on the display device (31) on the basis of the read pixel data, and successively re-generates pixel data for the designated machining process and machining processes subsequent thereto to display the tool configuration and the workpiece configuration on the display device (31) on the basis of the re-generated pixel data. <IMAGE></p> |
