For drilling & riveting process definition & simulation, the R2018x release of Drill &Fill Engineer role (NDR) brigns several new capabilities at the level of the manufacturing fasteners management such as :

- Openness thru VB APIs for Manufacturing fastener creation and edit

- Customize 3D Representation for Manufacturing fasteners (for clash accuracy)

- Automatic compute of stack thickness (feed rate management depending of material)

- Reconnection of manufacturing fasteners after Design change

Another new important capability is the support of collaborative robots for machine driven by cell controller where we get a single output file to control both robots (have a look to the video stored in the powerpoint presentation)
