      <p class="para_topic">This option allows you to select a machine code file and to simulate it using IS&amp;V. The system then translates G-code into tool axis positions and presents the results graphically.</p>
      <div class="title_division">MTD model</div>
      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">MTD</b> model requires:
      </p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">A plug-in installed which you have to initialize with machine-specific information.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">A cam set-up with tools and part.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">A machine tool driver that parses G-code and not mom events.</p>

      </ul>
      <div class="title_division">CSE model</div>
      <p class="para_division"><b class="uiTerm">CSE</b> only requires the cam setup with tools and part. Because the posted file is for a particular setup you must insure that the Machine Coordinate System is placed at the location on the machine that matches what was posted and name the MCS in agreement with the posted output.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">For example: Name the MCS &ldquo;G54&rdquo; for a Fanuc-style controller with a work offset of G54. Everything else should be the same as when simulating NX toolpath from an operation.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Where do I find it?</div>
