One way to get it to work is to output the txt files as a template files. You could store them in the postprocessor directory. Then call them in the applicable MOM event by using MOM_do_template_file [MOM_ask_env_var UGII_CAM_POST_DIR]Header.tpl.

If it is a postbuilder postprocessor consider altering mom_kin_4th_axis_max_limit and mom_kin_4th_axis_min_limit in the tcl file. It might be necessary to alter the def file too, check how the 'fourth_axis' address is configured.

With iges an assembly is converted into a single part. You need more than one part to create a bolted connection. You could opt for a step file or split the iges up into separate parts.

The quote is a control variable. set qt {"} initialize the variable in your user tcl file to get it at the right level.

yes use mom_tool_name instead of mom_tool_number and use a variable for the quotes.

maybe it is a better idea to write a procedure that makes mom_pos mom_mcs_goto and put that procedure in the MOM_linear_move and MOM_rapid_move. You can either use a ude or some logic to sense multi-axis milling operations to switch between mom_pos and mom_mcs_goto output. The rapids will need...

The machine works best with some kind of tcpm when cutting multi-axis mode. When using M128 or TCPM coordinates are relative to the part and not relative to the machine. The coordinates need to be mom_mcs_goto instead of mom_pos. Initital coordinate before you switch to M128 should be in...

Modifying the postprocessor is one way of achieving your goal. Something close is activating group output in the postprocessor. Otherwise you could opt to add some tcl code (file open and file close) to the start of path and end of path procedures.

I do not know if it matters, I tend to have the cycle 7 just before the cycle 19(plane) and after the tool change. The fixture offset should be in the B0 C0 axis system. If repositioning the cycle 7 does not work find out if the parameters required for the machine model on the controller are...

what you could do write some code in the preprocess procedure (vnc file) that will first recognise the phrase and then you will have to tell nx what to do.

In the sample directory there is an example on how to use 'simulate machine code file' with a pdf document (nx7.5). mach\samples\nc_simulation_samples

Tecnomatix that is the correct company name.

The toolpath quality has improved in nx7.5. In the past switching the add finish pass would be not very practical. Nowadays there are a lot less tiny toolpath motions. The small linear motions in front of a circular move have gone. The result of all this is that one can switch cutcom on without...

Maybe this additonal bit of information helps. There are three kind of Integrated Simulation and Verification methods within nx: vnc plugin type vnc mtd cse The first one is a black box type developed together with siemens when I think eds owned unigraphics (840D controller). The second one is...
