Adding the required functions

1. Add machine simulation to capabilities

   capabilities = CAPABILITY_MILLING | CAPABILITY_MACHINE_SIMULATION;

2. Add the machine simulation functions to the post
   • Use the Machine Simulation post for reference. Found here

     // ***** This is an example only *****
     
     // ####
     
     // #### The code below is relevant for machine configuration / simulation ####
     
     // ####
     
     // Start of machine configuration logic
     
     var compensateToolLength = false; // add the tool length to the pivot distance for nonTCP rotary heads
     
     // internal variables, do not change
     
     var receivedMachineConfiguration;
     
     var operationSupportsTCP;
     
     var multiAxisFeedrate;
     
     function activateMachine() {
     
       // disable unsupported rotary axes output
     
       if (!machineConfiguration.isMachineCoordinate(0) && (typeof aOutput != "undefined")) {
     
         aOutput.disable();
     
       }
     
     // ***** This is an example only *****

3. Add setCurrentABC(abc) to setWorkPlane

   // Look at the Machine Simulation post for reference
   
   setCurrentABC(abc); // required for machine simulation

4. Remove the old machine axis setup in onOpen and activate the machine

   function onOpen() {
   
   
   
   // ***** Add these lines *****
   
   
   receivedMachineConfiguration = machineConfiguration.isReceived();
   
   if (typeof defineMachine == "function") {
   
   defineMachine(); // hardcoded machine configuration
   
   }
   
   activateMachine(); // enable the machine optimizations and settings
   
   
   
   
   // ***** Remove these lines *****
   
   
   var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:true, axis:[1, 0, 0], cyclic:true});
   
   //var cAxis = createAxis({coordinate:2, table:false, axis:[0, 0, 1], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
   
   machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis);
   
   setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
   
   optimizeMachineAngles2(1); // map tip mode
   
   }
   
   if (!machineConfiguration.isMachineCoordinate(0)) {
   
   aOutput.disable();
   
   }
   
   if (!machineConfiguration.isMachineCoordinate(1)) {
   
   bOutput.disable();
   
   }
   
   if (!machineConfiguration.isMachineCoordinate(2)) {
   
   cOutput.disable();
   
   }

5. Save the post and re-attach it to the machine config if necessary
6. Re-simulate the setup.
