Questions / Answer
[Portfolio] "Which tool manufacturers can be downloaded from NTT ?"
=> NTT supports the ISO13399 import from all tool manufacturers.
The "Web Catalog Search" can be used to browse the tool vendor web site inside 3DExperience, in this case the tool vendor must publish the p21 file on their web site.
[NC Cutting Tools] "How to save Tool Catalog as txt file?"
=> Open the catalog in V5, and in the command "Save as" choose the ".txt" extension
[NC Cutting Tools] "Is it possible to change gage value even on lathe tools whech arent in the axial direction?"
=> Only the Z axis of the tools is used for the gage
[Reuse Feature Recognition] "Is it possible to use Multi-axis Flank contouring also?"
=> Yes, no limitation on the type of the activity. All activities can be used.
[Reuse Feature Recognition] "Is it working with Holes and hole patterns?"
=> Yes, but we advise to use the new "Hole search" command for the holes and patterns.
[Reuse Feature Recognition] "Is there a difference between colours? Two same pockets, but different colors?"
=> The feature recognition is not based on the color. The color is only to display the result of the feature recognition.
Each feature is associated to a color, modifiable by the user.
[Reuse Feature Recognition] "Does it work for turning MOs?"
=> Yes, it works for turning MO too.
[Intermediate Stock] "Is it mandatory to be in the same Machining Cell?"
=> Yes, it's mandatory to be in the same Machining Cell.
[ZLevel Helix] "About Helix strategy on the Z-Level, is it on the V5 ?"
=> Yes, available in CATIA/DELMIA V5-6R2019SP2 under variable (SMG_ZLEVEL_HELIX) and CATIA/DELMIA V5-6R2020 without variable.
[ZLevel Helix] "Is CUTCOM available in Helix strategy?"
=> No CUTCOM management in the ZLevel. The user must manage manually in adding the CUTCOM/RIGHT or CUTCOM/LEFT in the macro motion.
[Rework Area] "Is this functionality on the V5 ?"
=> No, only in 3DEXPERIENCE.
[Machine Simulation] "Is an ISO-based simulation available for MillTurn- Maschines? How is the Controller Emulation done for this machines? Any documetation/companion about that?"
=> Yes, the NC Code simulation works for Mill-Turn machine.
A sample provided by ICAM is available in the 3DEXPERIENCE installation : [install path]\win_b64\startup\Manufacturing\ICAMPar\Samples\Millturn_Moriseiki_Demo.3dxml
We worked with IMS for other customers, too.
[Machine Simulation] "In which file settings are stored? in case we reset... How can you customize the shortcuts?"
=> The shortcuts defined by customize command are stored in AfrCommandsAccelerators.CATSettings file (in this directory %APPDATA%\DassaultSystemes\CATSettings\R[ReleaseNumber]\{Authoring,DESKTOP_Cloud} ).
[Choreography] "Can that text be passed to the work instructions?"
=> No link with work instructions.
[Choreography] "Do you have an example, step by step scenario to create and use these business rules in choreo ?"
=> A sample is provided in the installation : [install path]\win_b64\resources\knowledge\scripts\DELNCChoreographyGeneration.CATRule
We can provide the business rules used in the video, if you want : please, contact me for that.
[Choreography] "It's not yet available right? Next update FD02 ?"
=> The automatize generation of choreography is available in R2020xFD01 (eratum) under variable (DEL_MFG_GEN_CHOREOGRAPHY).
Yes, it's the next update for OnPremise installation (planned 03 april).
[Choreography] "Should be the next update ?"
[Choreography] "on cloud is the same for FD02 ?"
=> As Jean-Marc has presented, R2020xFD02 will be not the next update on the cloud. The next update of the cloud is the R2021xGolden. All the functions available from R2020xFD02 are available in R2021xGolden too.
[Robot] "Which hot fix resolve problem with mounting the tool ? 2019x and 2020x ? i'm using Robot for milling application. I use to adapter for tools. I have a problem with connections of adapter during simulation. "
=> We need more details (SR number, scenario, ...). Please, contact me or post the question on the community.
[Question] "It would be interesting to collect the various questions and answers given during the training, it's difficult to udenrstand them in real time "
=> Thanks for the idea.
[ICAM Foundation] "Is it not a free of charge ?"
=> ICAM Foundation is installed OOTB with 3DEXPERIENCE and free during 6 months.
[Simulation] "Is there anything about ISO code simulation ?"
=> Many function about tool path simulation are available for NC Code simulation too, mainly the collision detection independant of the time step.
[NC Doc] "NC documentation in PDF? How to?"
=> We provide a sample for the NC Documentation in the installation : [install path]\win_b64\startup\Manufacturing\Documentation\MacroDocWizard.3dxml
This macro generates a xml file with all information and this xml is converted in html. You can modify this convertion to generate a pdf instead of html.
The pdf is easier to publish and attach on process planning because of alone file and take into account by apriso.
We have a sample that we can provide. Please, contact me for that.
[NC Doc] "If in the future create some of template about generate new models of Shop floor documentation"
=> We provide a sample that you can modify and create many others if you want generate different NC Doc.
[NC Doc] "The Macro need to modify in Visual Basic?"
=> The sample provided is in VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for Applications, similar than C#). Visual Basic is deprecated by Microsoft, this new language is advised.
For DS, the same automation API are available in VSTA and Visual Basic, no difference.
[NC Doc] "Is there some community oriented for macros in V6?"
=> You can see the DS communities here : https://www.3ds.com/support/users-communities/
For the macros, the community is "CAA2 Version6 Development" (https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexperience.3ds.com/#community:63).
Some samples for DELMIA are in the wiki page of this community : https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexperience.3ds.com/#community:63/wiki:1354
[Others] "What about Digital Continuity?"
=> No, new function in R2020x about Digital Continuity. For a complete view, you can see Fabrication - What's New 2019x in this wiki, section What's New in Fabrication)
[Others] "Do we have machining process planner in delmia 3dexp. like in V5?"
=> We can use the Process Planning App, and create the intermediate stock manually.
[Portfolio R2021x] "Will NMV be standalone?"
=> Yes.
[Portfolio R2021x] "Do you know what will happen with the SolidCAM licenses included in the basic Solidworks packages?"
=> SolidWorks CAM will still exist with SolidWorks Desktop but on 3DEXPERIENCE Works, it will no be available.
[Portfolio R2021x] "When will partners and customers be informed about the cloud update on 2021x? Is there already a date?"
=> One or 2 weeks before the cloud migration, a mail is sent to inform you (planned end of April).
[Portfolio R2021x] "PCS is still a pre-req?"
=> Yes.
[Portfolio R2021x] "The features in FD02 are present in 2021X cloud?"
=> Yes, the R2021x golden, soon available on the cloud, contains all functions of the R2021xFD02.
[Portfolio R2021x] "There will be price differences between VARs and SolidWorks partners?"
=> No, the R2021x roles will be the same at the same price.
[Portfolio R2021x] "Will SW channel use the same SBO process as VS channel ?"
=> We don't know.
[MAL] "not clear if: is this a solution included into DS portfolio or needs to be acquired directly from MAL? Is this MAL plugin available through the standard 3DX sales process? And waht are the prices?"
=> To acquire this CAA Apps and to know the price, you have to contact directly Doruk
To remind, CAA Partner develops , sells and supports CAA based software applications as off the shelf complementary components.

[MAL] "which pre-req from our side if any need ?"
=> NPM is the minimum pre-req for this App.
[Others] "Next webinar when will be ?"
=> Soon, I think.
