Holding fixtures and vises are always used in day to day machining of parts. In SolidCAM we recognize the importance of this subject and see it as an important component for providing the most realistic simulation possible. This link contains several holding fixtures and vises, typically used in machine shops around the world, that can provide you the best simulation of the actual machining you are doing.
