Getting 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 9

Manage 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 11

Manage 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
