[step-manufacturing] First simulation results

[Martin Hardwick]

Happy New Year everybody,

Over the break we were able to extend the STEP-NC software so that it 
simulates the machining of the impeller, fishhead and CDS parts on 
the KTH machine tool.

There are a number of issues that need to be discussed including how 
to place the part and how to define the overall assembly length of the tool.

These will be documented in the status update notes that will be 
released in time for the telcon on Wednesday.

In the mean time those who have the STEP-NC Explorer can try the new 
software by loading the latest msi at the following URL. Test data is 
in the same directory.
