ICAM Virtual Machine ® Version 19.0 Using Virtual Machine Models with CeRun and Gener Adding Parts, Fixtures and Stock to the Simulation Collision testing is performed by sampling the motions of the machine along the tool path. The rate of sampling, called the collision tolerance, is defined in the Simulation»Options dialog. This collision tolerance value should match the finest CAM manufacturing tolerance used in the part program. The collision tolerance is a modal value stored in the registry; it is not stored on a program-by-program basis in the verification setup (.vsw) file. VM does not check for interference between part and fixture, so they can partially or completely overlap each other without problems. Collision testing is performed by sampling the motions of the machine along the tool path. The rate of sampling, called the collision tolerance, is defined in the Simulation»Options dialog. This collision tolerance value should match the finest CAM manufacturing tolerance used in the part program. The collision tolerance is a modal value stored in the registry; it is not stored on a program-by-program basis in the verification setup (.vsw) file. 2.6.2 Creating Part, Fixture and Stock Components The Stock/Fixture/Part dialog tabs all provide similar features. Objects are listed in a scrolling list. New objects can be added and old ones deleted or modified. Objects can be given names, which are used by VM when reporting collision diagnostic messages. Adding an object is a twostep process. The first step is to create a new object, defining its name and where (roughly speaking) it will be loaded on the machine. The second step is to actually define the physical components and placement of the object. The simulation window remains active when defining stock, part and fixtures, to permit interactive creation and placement of objects. For example, follow the steps below to create a rectangular base plate, whose lower left corner is (X-200, Y-150, Z0) with a length of 400, width of 300 and height of 25 (all dimensions in mm): Step 1: Create a new fixture object. � Select the Fixture tab. � Select the New button and then select the New Fixture sub-menu option. � Type in the name of the new item, e.g., “Base plate”. This name will be used by VM when reporting collisions between this and other objects. � Objects are always created relative to one or more standard stock axes defined by the model creator. If there are multiple stock axes (for example, two pallets), then you can specify where the base plate will be mounted using the Axis drop-list. The “None” choice can be used to remove a component from the machine once you have finished defining it. You can change the default mount point and current mount points Step 2: Define the physical components of the new fixture object. � Select “Base plate” in the Fixture tab component tree list. � Select the New button and then select the Cube sub-menu option. � Type, in order: -200 Enter -150 Enter 0 Enter 400 Enter 300 Enter 25 Enter 20 ICAM Technologies Corporation – Proprietary
Using Virtual Machine Models with CeRun and Gener Adding Parts, Fixtures and Stock to the Simulation When defining the physical components of an object, the component type (e.g. “Cube”) and its required parameters (e.g., x, y, z, width, length and height) are listed at the bottom of the simulation window. You can enter the parameters using the keyboard as instructed above, or you can move the mouse to an appropriate position and click the left-mouse button. Each click of the mouse can supply values for one or two parameters, which will be dynamically updated as you move the mouse. Hold the Shift key to toggle the snap-to-grid feature of the mouse. Use the grid button toggle on the VM Grid toolbar or select Simulation»Grid (Ctrl Alt G shortcut) to change to the default grid settings. You can change the camera position, standard view or user-defined viewpoint at any time when working in the simulation window. To summarize: � Use the mouse pointer or keyboard to set parameter values. � Use the left-mouse-button or Enter key to accept a parameter value and move to the next input field. � Use the Tab and Shift-Tab keys to move forward and backward through the required parameters without making changes. � Use the Shift key, VM Grid toolbar or Simulation»Grid (Ctrl Alt G) dialog to change grid settings. Once a component is created, it can be given a name, rotated, repositioned, resized and have its visual material properties set. The component name will be used in combination with the object name (e.g., “Base plate Box01”) in collision diagnostics. The name can be omitted if desired, and the same name can be repeated for other components. Press the Apply button to immediately see the effects in the simulation window of any repositioning or re-dimensioning of the component. All dimensions are expressed in the units listed in the unit drop-down choice list. The units can be changed, with the option of either readjusting the object‟s size to match or not.
