ModuleWorks not displaying workpiece

Question

So I loaded up M100 this morning to test out the new ModuleWorks and nothing shows up for simulation.

I can show everything by checking the box for Target under view, but that doesn't help me with anything. It does show the toolpath but no material removal or collisions. I have a feeling that this is because I assemble my Reference model and Workpiece using an NC-Model Assembly. I have used this method for years and I hope that all of my legacy programs will simulate properly.

Anyone have any issues with this?

Jason,That's the way I assemble my models also. I hope that isn't an issue. I am In the process of downloading M100 now. I will follow up when I have it loaded and running.I had an issue yesterday where I had 2 reference models back to back with machining on both and  a created work piece rather than an automatic created work piece.when I tried to do a simulation it kept coming up with "no relations have been defined for this model and would not run.I shut down Creo and restarted and went back to the manufacturing then the simulation would run. Seems pretty buggy to me. I hope they get the kinks worked out soon. I am running NCSimul for our high precision machines but I don't have it for our older machines so I use ModuleWorks for them.Steve
