Cutting process simulation method and system thereof

A cutting process simulation system comprising:

• a display that displays a product;
• and
• a controller that cuts the product corresponding to a facility in a nuclear plant by using a CAD (computer-aided design) kernel and API (application programming interface) functions and that represents a cut geometry on the display, and
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• create the cut geometry for cutting the product into a solid model by using cutting tools and a cutting trajectory;
• represent the cut geometry with a thickness and depth by performing a remove operation on the product according to the cut geometry;
• save the cut geometry as a CAD file by using a topological geometry with no specification history;
• and
• estimate an amount of secondary waste generated from the process of cutting the product in a unit of mass,
• wherein the controller calculates volume of geometry of an intersection between the product and the cut geometry by performing an intersect operation on the product and the cut geometry, and estimates the amount of secondary waste generated by multiplying the calculated volume and density of the product;
• and
• by setting a type of secondary waste differently according to one or more components included in the cut geometry;
• an amount of sawdust is estimated as the amount of secondary waste when the cut geometry comprises wood;
• and
• an amount of metal pieces is estimated as the amount of secondary waste when the cut geometry comprises metal.
