This task shows how
to use tolerances on hole design features to apply a Machining Process with
tolerancing considerations such as:
This capability makes use of the Functional Tolerancing & Annotations
TPSPackage Knowlegdeware package. You can load this package under Tools
> Options > General > Parameters and Measures. In the Knowledge tab page,
select the Load extended language libraries checkbox and choose
TPSPackage as the package to load. |

1. | Select File
-> Open then select the
Tolerances.CATPart document.
The part is displayed in the Part Design workbench. |
|
2. | Double click a
tolerance of one of the toleranced holes (for example, Diameter 10 H7). The Limit of Size Definition dialog box appears. For the selected Diameter 10 H7 tolerance, the tabulated values are set to H7 and 0 / 0.018mm as minimum / maximum values. Click OK to quit the dialog box. These values can be accessed in Knowledgeware expressions using the following functions:
These functions can be used in Machining Processes (for example: The following steps are done in a Machining workbench. |

4. | Tool Query
An example of use of Tolerance values for a Tool query is shown below.
|
|
5. | Formula Editor
An example of use of Tolerance values in formulas is shown below.
See Create a Machining Process for more information. |
|
6. | Save the Machining Process in a catalog (for
example: ../startup/Manufacturing/Processes/MP_demo.catalog) .See Organize Machining Processes for more information. |
|
7. | Enter the desired Machining
workbench and apply the Machining Process on toleranced holes as desired.
See Apply a Machining Process for more information. |
