Trang 8Getting Started
Before getting into the detailed instructions for using NC Manufacturing products, this section deals with some important concepts about your working environment
Manage Workbenches Manage Documents
Trang 9Manage Workbenches
This section explains what happens when you open a design part and enter an NC Manufacturing workbench (Prismatic Machining, for example), and how to switch to and from Manufacturing and Design Workbenches
1. Select File -> Open then select the desired CATPart document.
2. Select NC Manufacturing > Prismatic Machining from the Start menu.
The Prismatic Machining workbench appears.
The part is displayed in the Set Up Editor window along with the manufacturing specification tree.
The CATPart is automatically associated to the Part Operation and an instance of the part is created
in the Product List.
3. Select Manufacturing Program.1 in the tree to make it the current entity.
To insert program entities such as machining operations, tools and auxiliary commands you can either:
make the program current before clicking the insert program entity command
click the insert program entity command then make the program current.
4. Double click the Part entity in the tree to switch to a Mechanical Design workbench (such as Part Design or Wireframe and Surface Design depending on your configuration).
5. Double click a Manufacturing entity in the tree to switch back to the Manufacturing workbench.
Trang 11Manage Documents
This section shows how you can create a new CATPart document in the Product List dedicated for storing complementarygeometry
1.Set the Create a CATPart to store geometry checkbox in the Tools > Options > NC Manufacturing page
2.Open your design part and start the Manufacturing workbench as described in the previous section
Two CATPart documents are present in the Product list: the design part and a CATPart for storing ComplementaryGeometry in your Part Operation
This enables you to create geometry which may be necessary for your Manufacturing model without modifying thedesign part This geometry can be created by switching to a Design workbench as mentioned in the previous section
NC Manufacturing allows you to work in a multi-model environment
The CATProcess references one or more CATPart and/or CATProduct documents
You can have links between a CATProcess document and:
CATPart and/or CATProduct documents (design part, associated geometry, stock, and so on)
APT, Clfile or NC Code output (if associated during CATMfg generation)
Packed tool path files stored on disk (if these tlp files were stored)
CATPart documents relative to tool/tool assembly representation (if associated to a tool or assembly)
The links between documents can be visualized using the Edit > Links command.
These links can be managed with the TEAM PDM product
Trang 13Basic Tasks
The basic tasks you will perform using CATIA NC Manufacturing products involve creating, editing and managing part operations, manufacturing programs and other entities of the CATIA manufacturing process.

Just click OK to add a reference Spot Drilling operation
to the machining process
The reference operation has an associated Tool Query
You can associate Formulas or Checks to the operation
and specify a Tool Query
The Formulas, Checks and Tool Query dialog boxes have 4 common areas:
all expressions of the current entity (tool query or machining operation and for a machining operation,either formulas or checks)
the commands list
area for editing the current expression with restrictions (you cannot do everything) and some helps byusing operator, function and unit combos To validate an edited expression, you have to select the Addbutton

dictionaries (for machining features, activities and resources like tools) are always available.the object types list for the selected dictionary
the attributes list for a selected type: select one of them to insert it into the expression
For Tool Query dialog box a fifth area allows you to define the tool type and tool repository

the machining process by selecting first the Drilling icon
then the Tapping icon
The Machining Process View dialog box is updated as
shown
Trang 205. Right click the Spot Drilling operation in the Machining Process View and select the Edit formula command.The Formula Editor dialog box appears.

Click OK to assign the formula to the Spot Drilling operation
You can assign formula to the Drilling and Tapping operations in the same way
6. Right click the Spot Drilling operation in the Machining Process View and select the Edit Checks command TheChecks Editor dialog box appears
A check is a logical expression associated to the corresponding operation Inside a check, “and” and “or”
operators are available, and between several checks, an “and” operator is applied When applying the
machining process, the checks list is solved, a logical status is returned and the operation is created if thestatus is true
Define the following check : “ the spot drilling operation is only available for design holes with a diameter greaterthan 2mm.”
Trang 217. Double click the Tool Query associated to the Spot Drilling operation.The Tool Query Definition dialog box appears.
Define a simple tool query as shown below

Please refer to Apply a Machining Process for information about applying machining processes to geometry such
as design features and hole patterns
Trang 24Apply a Machining Process
This task shows how to apply a machining process
The machining process application uses a standard mechanism of instantiation of features from a feature reference
In our case, the feature reference is the machining process to be applied
When applying a machining process, the following steps are executed for each operation:
Default mapping execution in case of geometry selection
Checks execution
Tool query execution
Cutting condition execution
Formulas solving
Open the desired CATPart document, then select the desired NC Manufacturing workbench from the Start menu
1. Select the Open Catalog icon and open the
catalog you created in the previous task:
The Insert Object dialog box appears allowing you
to apply the machining process
Two input types can be defined:
geometry to machine
insertion in program
The default geometrical input is the manufacturing
view, and if this is not redefined by selecting a
geometrical feature, you are in settings mode In
this case and if a geometrical reference is used in
checks, tool queries or formulas, an error
message is issued
Note that for drilling machining processes, from
any selection, if it is linked to a design pattern, this
pattern is taken as selected geometry
The program input only appears if the insertion
into program mode is activated If no operation is
yet inserted and only one machining program is
created, the machining program is the default
program input

The example below shows the result of a search for a tool with body diameter between 8mm and 12mm in thecatalog ToolsSample02
Trang 395. Click OK to confirm using this new tool in the operation.
The following feed and speed data are supported: cutting speed (Vc) and feedrate/tooth/rotation (Sz) of themilling/drilling tool or lathe insert
D = tool diameter for milling/drilling or the average machining diameter for lathe machining in mm
Vc = cutting speed of the tool or insert
Vf (machining feedrate in mm/rev) = Sz * Z * N
where:
Sz = feedrate / tooth / revolution on the tool
Trang 40Z = number of teeth on the tool (MFG_NB_OF_FLUTES) or 1 for a lathe tool insert.
Finishing data is used if the operation is finishing type (for example, Profile finishing in Lathe Machining ) or if itincludes a finishing feedrate Otherwise Roughing data is used
