The Workpiece section lists the work pieces form previous verify sessions that have been saved using the Stock Tab of the Simulation Options Form.  A work piece is created from a CAM component of class "Stock" when a verify session is initiated.  The work piece can contain the verify results of any combination of tool path operations.  

 

Select the Format button to toggle between a mesh and a faceted stock representation.  Mesh means that the work piece will be a surface model and Facet means that it will be a polygonal faceted model.
