Reviving an old thread here.
I have to ask if this was ever solved for the original author?
I ask as I have complete sympathy with his situation as described in the first post. My syptoms are virtually identical but my computer is a HP Elitebook laptop running win10 64bit with a very standard installation 'straight out of the box' as it were, from the vectric website.
As I sit here typing this I am waiting for Aspire V10.514 to hopefully come out of a 'not responding' loop after I tried to do a simulation of one tool in a series of toolpaths and it showed signs of taking forever to regenerate on screen, so I tried to cancell the operation which made matters worse and it has been stuck looping around for half an hour now with the entire screen greyed out with the windows message that aspire is not responding.
On plenty of other occasions though, my issue has been the same as the OP, when modifying a tool path and re-simulating it, if I've not cleared the previous simulation, the second run through to check modifications made to the toolpath, the program bogs down and takes forever to catchup. BUT if I remember to clear the screen first then run second simulation on 'fresh' stock it runs fine.
Quite annoying. Looks like I am going to loose all this mornings work too.

Re: How to "break" a 'simulate toolpath' calculation
We have seen issue with simulation hanging indefinitely due to the interference from some drivers, notably Nahimic Audio.Richard93Vogue wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 5:48 amReviving an old thread here.
