Verification, Simulation and Program Output

The tasks for using capabilities such as tool path verification, material removal simulation, and production of NC output data are documented in the Machining Infrastructure User's Guide.

  Replay Tool Path:

Select the Tool Path Replay icon then specify the display options for an animated tool path display
of the manufacturing program of machining operation.

  Simulate Material Removal:

Select the desired icon in the Tool Path Replay dialog box to run a material removal simulation either in Photo or Video mode.
 
 
  • Generate NC Code in Batch Mode:
    Select the Generate NC Code in Batch Mode icon then select the manufacturing program to be processed
    and define the NC code processing options.
 
  • Generate Clfile Code in Batch Mode:
    Select the Generate NC Code in Batch Mode icon then select the manufacturing program to be processed
    and define the Clfile processing options.
 
  • Generate a CGR File in Batch Mode:
    Select the Generate NC Code in Batch Mode icon then select the manufacturing program to be processed
    and define the CGR file processing options.
   
  • MfgBatch Utility

    that allows you to generate NC data files from a manufacturing program by means of an executable program
    under Windows or a shell under UNIX.
  Batch Queue Management:

Manage tool path computation outside the interactive CATIA session,
with the possibility of scheduling the execution of several batch jobs.
  Generate NC Code in Interactive Mode:

Select the Generate NC Code Interactively icon then select the manufacturing program to be processed
and define processing options.
  Generate Documentation:

Select the Generate Documentation icon to produce shop floor documentation in HTML format. 
   Import an APT Source into the Program:

Select the APT Import contextual command to insert an existing APT source into the current manufacturing program.
