TopSolid’2008 TopSolid’Design 2008: What's New

This document describes the improvements made to the design application of the TopSolid’Design software: 2008 version.

̈ The construction tree can now have up to six tabs allowing the simultaneous display of the histories

of several elements The Main and Favorite tabs are created by default and cannot be modified The

other tabs are managed and saved on a document basis

New tabs are created via the contextual menu in the construction tree

Customization example:

Trang 7

The most often used components can be regrouped in the documents stored in the

$TOPCONFIG\Favorite folder They will then automatically be displayed in the Favorite tab of the

construction tree and can be included in a document by simply dragging and dropping them

̈ The ergonomics of the graphic cross section have been redefined The modifiers now permit thedynamic changing of the position of the section plane This position can also be precisely located byway of a numeric value

̈ What's more, it is possible to create sections (associative) on a graphic cross section These sections

are stored in SECTIONS SET and can be activated or deactivated at any moment.

̈ For Space Mouse users, it is possible to define keyboard shortcuts for changing the views

̈ The reference axes are dissociated which facilitates easier selections while defining a direction

Trang 8

̈ The result of a distance analysis is now displayed graphically with on-screen text notes that can bemoved

Sketch

̈ It is now possible to dimension the gap between two circles

Trang 9

̈ The Parallel function is no longer limited to a segment It can now handle entire profiles.

̈ Chamfers are now possible at the top of sketches

̈ The axis function permits the creation of the axes or the arc of a circle The resulting elements are of

the Construction type.

̈ Several copies of the sketch elements can be made thanks to the new Copy function.

̈ For contours, two new shortcuts (toggles) are available:

Pressing the A key switches to the TANGENT mode.

Pressing the Z key switches to the HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL mode.

̈ The sketch manages the automatic scaling of the contour, on addition of a first dimensionalconstraint This permits freehand drawing, without having to worry about the scale

Trang 10

Curves

̈ An option permitting the rotation of a regular polygon has been added.

̈ Enclosing rectangles and circles can now be created via the new function in the Enclosing curves

menu

̈ The POINTS option of the Curve | Manage | Rebuild function allows for the rebuilding of curves by

sampling them and reinterpolating the resulting points

̈ The dimensioning function has a new SYMMETRY CONSTRAINT option which allows the addition of

symmetry constraints once the dimension has been created

Shapes

̈ In the creation functions for extruded, revolved, pipe and flat shapes, sketch elements can now beused separately (local mode) or globally It is then possible to modify the shape so as to insert orextract the sketch elements

̈ The new function in the Enclosing shape menu allows for the creation of enclosing blocks and

̈ The COMPOSITE SURFACE option belonging to the Shape | Other Shapes | Face function permits

the copying of several faces of the same part The copied faces may then be limited by a curve

̈ When creating an ruled shape with a CURVE / CURVE correspondence between two curves having the same number of control points and nodes, the Parametric constant option allows for the

generation of a surface whose isoparametric curves have the same characteristics as the referencecurve

Drilling on a group of points

The SKETCH option in the drilling function, allows for the drilling on all points of the sketch Moreover, it

is possible to extend the drilling on a group of points (the group must have been created beforehand) or

Trang 11

̈ Possibility of giving an angular value in degrees while changing the origin

Radial coordinate system

̈ Previsualization of the coordinate system in non-dynamic mode (coordinate system + drilling)

̈ Associativity of the change of origin

Fillet and chamfer ergonomics between faces

When the fillet settings definition window is displayed, it is now possible to select the curve which isnormal to the fillet sections

Improvements to the reciprocal trimming

It is only possible to limit the first selected shape

While that is possible, the SEW option allows for the sewing of shapes limited to a given tolerance

Assembly/Components

The standard components with digital drivers benefit from a server inclusion mode In this mode, thegeometry is calculated once and for all which permits the making of gains on several levels:

̈ A gain in performance on the insertion of several identical components

̈ An acceleration of the updating of assemblies

̈ A reduction in memory use

̈ A reduction in the size of assemblies

̈ The modification of the attributes driving mode for several components can be done in just oneoperation

Trang 12

Kinematics

In order to permit a complete integration of TopSolid’Design in TopSolid’Pdm, the scenarios are now

stored in the design document

The scenario management window permits the importing and exporting of scenarios in text format While loading, the scenarios are automatically included in the document and the old scenario files (.scn)can be erased on backup

Points

The barycentre point now supports surfaces

Tools | Options

̈ Declaration of user libraries (without restarting TopSolid).

̈ Activation/Deactivation of document locking

̈ For the entering and modification of settings, it is now possible to predefine the tolerances that will beavailable via drop-down lists

Attributes

The possibility of editing the properties definition file (TOP.PRD) with Attribute | Properties.

TopSolid’2008 TopSolid’Draft 2008: What's New

This document describes the improvements made to the drafting application of the TopSolid’Draft software: 2008 version.

General points

Interrupted view

It is now possible to interrupt a view following two directions (X and Y) Furthermore the followingmodifications are available:

̈ Addition and removal of interruption curves

̈ Adjustment of the interruption distance, on creation and from the symbolic tree

̈ The dynamic displacement of the 2nd interruption curve once the view has been opened out

Drilling tables and dimensions on the slave parts.

It is now possible to make the drilling tables and the drilling dimensions on the slave parts

Points projection in piping view

Global projection of the 3D contour points in the piping views thanks to the Project 3D points option in

the creation box for piping views The result is what we would have had by projecting the points one byone

Modification of a view following F

It is possible to modify the height and the name of the text associated with the definition arrow (as withthe polygon cut of a cut) The modification is made in the view modification dialogue box or by directlyselecting the arrow

Sorting projected dimensions

In the projection of the dimensions in a view, in automatic mode, it is only possible to keep the

dimensions that have a tolerance thanks to the new button keep the dimensions with tolerances =

YES/NO.

Hatching pattern user

It is now possible to create hatching patterns from drawn curves

Patterns are created with the aid of the Attribute | Hatching pattern function and the CREATE

HATCHING PATTERN and CREATE HATCHING PATTERN FROM FILE options:

Trang 17

TopSolid’Draft 2008: What's New TopSolid’2008The defined hatching patterns can be associated with a user material.

Draft with draft template

The Multi-draft function becomes Draft in the File menu of a design document This new function offers the choice of either doing a multi-draft (via theMULTI-DRAFT button), or of drafting a part or an assembly

directly from the 3D by choosing a draft template

Multi-draft with multi-folios

The multi-draft offers the choice of either drafting one part per DFT document, or of drafting one part perfolio in just one DFT document

Multi-draft with drilling tables

The multi-draft offers the possibility of creating a drilling table for each drafted part (the question can beremoved by way of a configuration word whose syntax is described in the online help)

The information concerning the position and reference view of the drilling table can be defined in the DFTdocument model as follows:

̈ The reference view is that which has the property drilling table view, otherwise it's chosen at

random

̈ The table will be positioned either between the two points that will have the following properties first

position of drilling table or second position of drilling table, or with respect to the title block.

̈ If the model has neither a title block nor two points with these properties, the drilling table won't becreated

Drilling tables

Using Tools | Options and File| Properties, it is now possible to adjust advanced information (special

cases of depth calculation, transformed parts management, pre-pierced holes management) that waspreviously only accessible by configuration word

Trang 18

Dimension table for the control

The new Dimension| Dimension table function enables certain dimensions and tolerance symbols to

be displayed, so that they can be verified in the workshop, and so that custom or quality sheets can bemade

The number, dimension, tolerance and average columns are automatically presented Others can be

added by way of a configuration word whose syntax is described in the online help

All columns, with the exception of dimension and tolerance can be edited and modified.

Table of Cartesian points and coordinate systems as notes

There are new buttons in the creation of the table of Cartesian points One lets you associate arrows withcoordinate systems, the other lets you trace a frame around the coordinate systems

Table of 3D Cartesian points

The 3D MODE option lets you create tables of Cartesian points of projected points whose coordinates

are those of the corresponding 3D point, in an index chosen from the 3D document

Import Excel table: Color configuration

The new configuration word D_TABLE_ALG_EXCEL_WRONG_COLOUR, lets you match a non-authorized

Trang 19

TopSolid’Draft 2008: What's New TopSolid’2008

Bill of material

It is now possible to carry out an automatic indexing of a view by using indices with information The new

ADD MULTI-ARROWS option belonging to the Index function lets you index the same one piece in

several different parts of the document

Hooking stability in the views

̈ A radius dimension on a drilled hole having a fillet at its base will remain hooked when the the fillet isremoved

̈ A linear dimension that remains hooked to a segment cut in two (e.g by a groove) will remain hookedwhen the groove is removed (return to just one segment)

Trang 22

TopSolid’2008 TopSolid’Fold 2008: What's New

This document describes the improvements made to the sheet metal design application of the

TopSolid’Fold software: 2008 version.

Operations

Flange

In the calculation mode of the flange length in POINT mode, it is now possible to specify an offset value

which lets you ensure a gap with the sheet metal

Both the radius and the folding angle can be specified without having to use the PARAMETER option.Swept flange

It is now possible to define a linear generatrix without having to draw it first, by giving it a length and anangle of inclination

Improvements have been made to the handling of closed swept flanges

Improvements have been made to the handling of the edge breaks that are now constructed so as topresent a minimum width

The parameters of the form of the notches at the base of the edge breaks can be defined

Trang 23

Overlapping

The function now has an improved operating mode for the closure of the openings between flanges

During the selection of two neighboring boundary edges TopSolid’Fold suggests default overlapping

(corner-corner, hidden and inclined field)

The old mode of operation is accessible via the ONE EDGE option.

Extrude face

It is now possible to use this function for reducing the dimension of a face

Break corners

The handling of rectangular break corners has been improved

Groove: groove on a lateral face

This new option lets you apply grooves or slots (face extrusion) on the lateral faces This function isintended for plastic sheet metal working or very thick sheet metal working

It is possible to carry out a solid flattening that keeps the grooves for machine milling

Trang 24

Unfold a fold / Refold a fold

The functions can handle the conical parts

Fillet/Chamfer

The Fillet/Chamfer command is now available in the sheet metal menu It automatically filters the lateral

edges and suggests a set of simplified parameters for speeding up the creation of fillets/chamfers on thesheet metal

The fillets/chamfers on boundary edges are now recognized as lateral faces

Solid flattening

The unrolling of conical surfaces is now supported

The lateral faces of the folds are now rebuilt

Boilerwork assistant

Improvements have been made to the broadening function, which lets you create more complexboilerwork shapes

Sheet metal converter

Visualize face geometry

This function now integrates a verification of the edge sewing tolerance and displays the edges whosesewing tolerance is greater than a given value

Too large a sewing tolerance indicates the part needs to be repaired or cleaned, otherwise problems may

be encountered at the solid flattening level

Visualizing face geometry

A new Repair loops option lets you reconstruct the base surfaces of a metal sheet by improving the

connection of the face definition loops (removal of the open loops in the parametric space)

Modify face type

During the selection of the faces to modify, the Follow tangential faces = YES/NO option has been

added

Trang 25

Unfolding

̈ It is now possible to assign local losses to several faces all at one time During the unfolding of asurface, it is now possible to control the side towards which the thickness is applied A new option forthe orientation of the unfolding is available This lets you orientate the unfolding in such a way that itsencompassing rectangle is as small as possible In this case, the unfolding is oriented so that thelargest dimension of the encompassing rectangle obtained is aligned with the X axis of thedestination reference

These dimensions can be returned as properties for the template part and displayed in the bill ofmaterial They can then be used for making estimates, for example

̈ When the Display fold edges option is activated, the position of the created borders is calculated in

relation to the unrolled length of the fold, taking into account the losses at the applied folds (before,the length used was equal to the length of the fold at the level of the interior radius)

̈ A new representation option is available for displaying a fold line with two segments at the start andend of the fold

̈ The parameters of the displayed segments can be modified

̈ Displaying fold information

The following information can now be displayed:

• The unrolled length of the fold

• The value of the equivalent neutral fiber coefficient

Trang 26

• The type of loss calculation used for the calculation of the fold length

̈ It is now possible to mark the unfolded folds with a local loss

̈ Displaying the angle

It is possible to not display the fold angle value for folds of 90º (only angles that are not 90º will bedisplayed)

TopSolid’2008 TopSolid’Wood 2008: What's New

This document describes the improvements made to the design and draft application of the

TopSolid’Wood software: 2008 version.

Design

Panel entity

The interactivity of the panel entity has been improved in order to provide better ergonomics

Advanced adjustments are done visually in a window

In addition to the definition of the panel model, the Copy panel function lets you directly reuse the

settings of a panel entity already done in the document

Trang 29

Assembly kit

A new function lets you make multi-component assemblies in one single operation

Definition of assembly models

These models of assembly kits are directly defined by the user by way of an assistant, with standardeccentric components, pins, screws and lamellos

Assembly kits use

A new assembly function lets you use these assembly kit models that automate the repetitions andactivation of associated processes

Note: the bill of material representation of these assembly kits can be displayed in three different ways:

̈ Components (without the sub-assembly kit)

̈ Kit (without the components that make it up)

̈ Kit and components (intermediate kit sub-assembly)

Trang 30

Definition of distributions

The ergonomics of the distribution definition window has been revised for better understanding and tointegrate a new extension mode

This new advanced mode permits two types of distribution:

̈ Calculation of the start and end distances according to the number, the steps and the minimumpredefined distances (exists in version 6.8)

̈ Calculation of the start and end distances and step according to the number, the minimal predefineddistances, and a unitary step The step will be the largest multiple of the unitary step that permits therespect of the constraints of number and minimal distances

Trang 31

Edge configuration editor

This new function is for detecting the edges present in a document, and to enable the user to make aprecise selection by way of different specific criteria so that they can be interchanged with another edgemodel

This interchangeability of edges is possible, irrespective of their design level and their positioning method

(panel entity or Edge function).

Moulding, grooving and rebating

The modification of the operation in the assembly of the new version brings even more flexibility tomodeling It allows the modification of the moulding, grooving and rebating of several parts

Trang 32

simultaneously, irrespective of their assembly level This is achieved without altering the modeldocuments

This functions authorizes not only the interchange of tools but also to set the different parameters of theselected operation:

̈ Lead in and lead out conditions

̈ The values of the X-Z offsets and of the angle

Trang 33

Property configuration editor

A new function lets you assign new properties to different parts contained in the document, irrespective

of their assembly level

In the same way as in the edge configuration editor, users can precisely select by way of differentspecific criteria, the parts to which they wish to apply these properties

Personalization of the automatic coding

TopSolid'Wood 2008 allows the user to create, in a bill of material file, a so-called "coding" property Thiscoding is established by way of a concatenation of information available in the bill of material The usercan therefore personalize this property and use it as a bill of material index, in a title block or as a filename when exporting

Trang 34

Layout

Hatching

Wood hatchings are now available in the 2008 version

Several hatching designs are delivered with this new version, e.g wood block (cross cut and rift cut),blockboard, plywood, fiberboard, MDF etc As none of these designs have been standardized, usershave the possibility of easily creating and saving their own designs in the configuration

All of these hatchings can be associated with the materials, and respect the direction of the grainattributed in the parts' definition The hatching of the surfaces is therefore completely linked to thedefinition of the 3D model and the direction of the grain

Trang 35

Interrupted view in two directions

The interrupted view of the 2008 version allows one or several interruptions in both directions (direction

̈ Selection: Unitary or Multi-part

̈ Reference face: Manual or Parts Definition

̈ Selection of the configuration

The objective is to export the different geometries on the different layers

These layers are named automatically according to the tool names and a Z altitude The color of theelements of each layer is also attributed automatically

This export can edited by the user on a first level

The standard configurations supplied are:

̈ 1-BiesseWorks

̈ 2-MasterWork

̈ 3-CADCode

Trang 36

Changes to the PanelCam interface

Exporting from TopSolid’Wood 2008 to PanelCam has been enriched by the bill of material information

by directly exploiting the panel optimization of PanelCam

Configuration

The TopSolid’Wood 2008 configuration has been further enriched All of the software's default settings interms of files are now directly accessible via one single dialogue box

Default choice:

̈ Of tools (moulding, grooving etc.)

̈ Of assembly components (pins, eccentric components etc.)

̈ Of sorting for parts selection (for multi-draft and machining exports)

̈ Of symbol for grain direction

̈ Of interface-linked applications

TopSolid’2008 TopSolid’Mold 2008: What’s New

This document describes the improvements made to the conception of mold application of theTopSolid'Mold software in the version 2008

Parting elements

Split in 2 shells

Once designed the parting lines, you can now ask for the 2 shells splitting It would allow you to checkyour geometry, or to help you in your insert design At the end, you will get the Aside and Bside shells

• Create your Parting lines on your part to inject

• Start the function Create part shell

• Select your part

The software creates the upper and lower shells, regarding the part and parting lines Those shells are

associative They will be on layers and with colors defined in Tools | Options.

Shells control

Sometimes, you are trying to design a mold with "poor" design Even if you had used ourTopSolid'Design tools to fix and got a valid and solid shape, some "problems" could appear on your part.For example, you can have a non detected linked face between the Aside and the Bside of your part.Generally, today this problem occurs when you try to trim your CC blocks

You can now check visually where the failure appears The software will allow you to detect, face by face,where is the area to repair How to do that?

In the Check function , start the Parts shell validity

Trang 39

TopSolid’Mold 2008: What’s New TopSolid’2008

̈ Set the attributes parameters (layer, transparency, colors) for those elements in Tools | Options

In the Check function , launch the mode Test parting surfaces A new option allows you to check

where the sewing operations failure betweens the 2 shells and the parting surfaces occurs It is easiernow to see where the area to fix is

Movement

Creation wizard

Until now, you were able to insert your movement components one by one (slide, guiding rails,

locking heel, and angular pins) A Wizard helps you now to:

̈ Choose your components in one time, and to insert this “movement” assembly once the selection isOK

̈ “Move” in your wizard to adjust the movement parameters In this way, you can optimize your differentvalues

̈ Save your movement configuration, and call them back in a new mold design

Trang 40

TopSolid’2008 TopSolid’Mold 2008: What’s New

Components

Components server

Use the TopSolid’s components server mechanism Currently, all the components are created in the

end-use Mold document In some case, it could grow up the file size TopSolid’Mold can now manage the

identical components in the way to save computation time and reduce the size of your documents

Components bookmarks

As in TopSolid’Design, the most used components can be grouped in a bookmark document They will

be displayed in the Bookmark tab in your symbolic tree You will be able to “drag and drop” thosecomponents from your tree to the graphical area, to insert them in your current design

Libraries

We add the following libraries:

̈ Polimod (Brazil)

̈ Totalmatrix (Chili)

New types of components have been added in the existing libraries:

̈ Mold support bolts

̈ Bushing balls

̈ Etc…

Design management

Predefined Mold sub assemblies

We create new predefined sub assemblies to allows you a faster exploitation of your mold 3D design.When you insert Mold components, those ones will be directly affected to their correct sub assemblies

Of course, the manual management is possible The predefined sub assemblies are managed in Tools |

Options | BOM.

The created sub assemblies are:
