ICAM Virtual Machine V19 - Kxcad.net

Database:
Using Virtual Machine Models with CeRun and Gener
Selecting a Virtual Machine Model
This input field is used to select the database that contains the model to use. You can browse
for a database using the square browse button […] located immediately to the right of the input
field. The most recent database selections are remembered, and they can be quickly accessed
again by selecting them from the drop-down choice list. The browse database panel
remembers the last directory browsed for a database, unless an icam_dbf environment variable
is set.
Model and Revision:
Use these input fields to choose a model from the selected database. The model drop-down
presents a list of all models in the selected database. The revision field lists the latest revision
of the selected model and the drop-down lists other revisions, if any. Information about the
selected model will appear below the input field.
One of the available model choices is “Use associated”, which when selected will use the
model associated with the selected control emulator or post-processor. You cannot choose a
specific revision of a model that is selected by association.
Verification setup file:
This file contains part program specific setup information such as tooling, part, stock, fixture,
compensation, lighting adjustments, and a variety of other settings unique to each NC program.
This field is automatically set to the same name as the NC program input file (i.e., the
MCD file for CERUN or the CLDATA file for GENER), with a file extension of “.vsw”. You
can change the name for a single execution of the control emulator or post-processor, but the
settings will not be remembered the next time CERUN or GENER is launched.
A verification setup file that has been created with GENER during post processing can later be
reused by CERUN during MCD verification, and vice versa.
OK, Cancel and Reset buttons
Press OK to accept any changes to the Simulation panel and return to the main launch panel.
Press Cancel to ignore your changes and return to the main launch panel. Press Reset to remove
all specialized settings, and reset all fields to their defaults.
Run CERUN or GENER with a “Show Full” display setting on the main launch panel to see the
machine simulation. When the full-display window appears, you may have to perform a few
steps to see the simulation. CERUN and GENER remember global display settings in the registry,
and remember part program specific display settings in the vsw file. Once the display is set to
your satisfaction, you normally will not need to perform any special steps to see the same display
on a subsequent run of the same part program.
