I have an assembly which I am nesting, and the assembly has many different components. Choosing each face one at a time is very time consuming to generate contours. Is there a way to choose many contours all at once?

I am wanting to cut a custom shaped thread with a DCMT Insert, this can be referred too as Rope Threading. This would initially rough out by going to an X,Z position at the front of the part. Then feed at a specific rate in Z for a given RPM. Then repeat this tracing the final shape for finishing. Is this possible in DELMIA? Using NTA, I have tried Thread Turning but this does not seem to be able to use a custom defined shape, I have also tried recess turning which can create the profile but it

In the 3DEXPERIENCE, you have 2 possibilities to work with CATIA V5 CAD: 1/ you can import the CAD in the platform (it is not the target of this wiki) In this case the CAD is “duplicated” and you program on the 3DEXPERIENCE CAD 2/ you can connect CATIA V5 to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform via a connector (collaborative design for CATIA V5 role in the ENOVIA portfolio) In this case you use the CATIA V5 CAD in the 3DEXPERIENCE the data is unique , there is NO duplication

I capitalize a tip / methodo after a question from @LL about the vizualisation of milling and drilling tool assemblies when you assign its on a lathe turret (by default Laurent expect "static" tool assemblies as it is in the shopfloor => virtual twin)

Demonstrate how to create a drill cycle using Global Feature Recognition and Hole Patterns

When you define a 5 axis milling machine you can set two RTCP parameters in the “Numerical Control” section (via: “NC Resources/Modify Nc Resources”) RTCP Support Default Mode ON at operation creation (if the previous RTCP Support is activated) Default is OFF Theses parameters impact the machine toolpath simulation and also the APTfile output. I propose in the following pdf to summarize the behavior and the impact. and also two short videos with and vithout RTCP during the transition path

DELMIA Machining offers CAM-Programmers the possibility to use robots instead of CNC machines for machining processes without having to adapt to a different software. However there are differences in the way robots and CNC machines are operated and this is reflected in DELMIA Machining as well. The scenario covered in this tutorial shows how to program a robot with Fanuc controller (in fixed TCP mode) using DELMIA Machining. Introduction This scenario was originally concieved for the Innoteq

Hello Everyone, Thank to @Chris MacBain for the following content ! My name is @Chris MacBain and I am new to the technical marketing team here at Dassault Systemes. I will be creating short tutorial videos that cover the basics of programming your CNC with DELMIA. I will be posting them as I make them. If there are any questions, please post them in the comments.

I attached a video which shows how you can use revisions for updating or repairing a machine model. In the video it is shown how the machine simulation doesn't work first. After replacing the turret by another -working- revision of this turret I can directly use this model in an existing programmed PPR. After recalculating the toolpath the machine simulation works as expected. This contains that all connections made in the activity process tree and connections for mounting tools are taken over.

Before (and by default now) the axis position of the accessory has to be managed with Machine Instruction (locked) to do 4 axis positioning Now you can define the accessory axis as “merged with machine kinematics” and Machine instruction are no more mandatory ...and you can also mill in 4 axis continuous A small button, but a huge improvement to improve the resources definition ! and to be more and more closed to the digital twin

I propose to share with you my methodology to create a millturn machine. Thanks to @LM to share the original data. I have modified it to add “push bar” mechanism, changed the jaws, added adapter for axial tool :) Of course this machine can be used to create demo :) Methodology 3DMachine R2021x

Since the 3DEXPERIENCE R2017x it is possible to create several tool change positions on the 3D machine (and to simulate) Please find below the pdf with the methodology and the result video Methodology 3DMachineR2021x

To complete the wikis on the resources creation via “equipment design” (in EMR role) for CAM user (milling machine, millturn machine, accessories), please find below a pdf on the milling head (and andrea’s head) Methodology 3DMachine R2021x

In the previous Wiki, I explain how to create interchangeable head and the difference between interchangeable head and Angular NC Assembly. I have recorder a video to create this NC assembly with "prismatic" holder (key point to define the mount and base axis) Methodology R2021x

With NTT role (Cutting Tool Technologist), it is possible to create automatically tools and holders in the 3DEXPERIENCE from external website. According my experience, there is two ways: Importing directly .P21 format (example from ISCAR website) Importing directly “GTC” format via MachiningCloud for referenced tool manufacturer (account is needed (free)) The method is: Define the website path (to do one time) Search the resources Load the P21 or GTC file to create the component My tip:

Same approache for turning. When you import the step or other format, the most important is to check the Axis defintion to be able to mount the user rep of course, it is also faster with NTT via the P21 format :)

As explain (very quickly!) in the wiki about NC assembly for milling creation, it is possible to change the type as 'cleaner' if you don't want to do material removal. When you change the type from 'CUT' to 'CLEANER', there is no removal material and no collision if you are in the part/stock in any feedrate (except RAPID!). Cleaner type is also used by default for the probing tool In the video I illustrate how to create it and used it with a robot

Hello, In this wiki section dedicated for resources, I explain how create NC Assembly with NTT role... but not without... I have create a video to illustrate how to do ...and how to associate user rep ....and how to define cutting condition on the tool ... and how to propagate on the assembly to associate user for the tool it is similar, but you have two parts 'no cut' part and the 'cut' part For the cut part, you have also the possibility to define it as 'cleaner' . In this case, there is no

According the machine kinematic it is not always possible to define « directly » orthonormal trihedron X,Y,Z (controller) motion with the machine joints definition. In this case you have to define "non-command" joints and add "kinematic relations" to be able to simulate XYZ orthogonal motion with non orthognal joints in the zip, you have the methodology, the videos to be able to create the turret and the 3DXML (final result)

This document created by @OH explains how to use Subroutines to control machine movements during the toolchange.

In the Fabrication domain (Machining or Additive) you can generate Robot output or NC output (APTfile or Gcode with a Postprocessor). The choice has to be done in the workcell (see video). The best way to work is to define a "Start Manufacturing Cell" and use it after to generate a new one. Refer to the methodology in the following wiki :

To generate the NC code you have to set several information in the 3DEXPERIENCE according what is the expected outut (APTFile on G code) and who is the Post Processor provider . I have summarized in the ppt the workflow and where to set the key parameters

This wiki is especially done for new people who start to develop Post Processor. The information read by the Post Processor to generate the NC Code is the APTFILE generate by DELMIA Machining. Information generated in the APTFIle is linked to the PPTABLE associated to the selected resource (Machine) PPTABLE can be customized

With the default "preferences" you can select only tool assembly to create a machining operation . If you want to program also with a tool you have to change the preference. see the pdf for detail and seach behavior

One crack in a component of a special machine is enough to cause the entire assembly line to shut down; a spare part is needed to get the assembly line running again. However, the original manufacturer is no longer in business and the digital model is nowhere to be found. How to do it on a short notice? Build a spare part with Additive Manufacturing! From Reverse Engineering to Manufacturing, 3DEXPERIENCE offers the best tools to answer such delays: From a 3D scan of the broken part, use

After exchange with @LL I created this wiki to share the methodology.

Hello everyone, In machining, is there an option or trick to lock the toolbar that shows or hides the different elements (tools, machine, etc.)? When you want to make several elements visible or hide them, you are obligated to display the selection bar every time. It's not essential, but it's a bit frustrating on a daily basis.
