Optimization device and optimization program for tool path

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium encoded with an optimization program for tool path, causing a computer to achieve functions comprising:

• an analysis/evaluation function into which input data including at least a tool path and one or more evaluation indices each including at least an evaluation item and a weighting are inputted, the analysis/evaluation function being configured to analyze and evaluate the tool path in terms of each of the at least one evaluation item and to output at least one analysis/evaluation result;
• a normalization function configured to normalize the at least one analysis/evaluation result respectively in consideration of the at least one weighting and to output at least one normalized analysis/evaluation result;
• a determination function into which a determination criterion is inputted, the determination function being configured to determine whether a path adjustment is required or not based on the determination criterion and the at least one normalized analysis/evaluation result and to output, when it is determined that the path adjustment is required, a determination result including at least one of the at least one normalized analysis/evaluation result or an item requiring adjustment selected from the at least one evaluation item;
• and
• a path adjustment function configured to perform, based on the determination result, the path adjustment of the tool path and to output a path adjustment result including at least the adjusted tool path,
• wherein the analysis/evaluation function performs again an analysis/evaluation based on the adjusted tool path and outputs at least one analysis/evaluation result.
