Part Generation is the link between design and production. It consists of 3 main functionalities:

  • Extracting the panel data from the design model

  • Processing the data so that it is usable for production purposes

  • Storing the part data into the manufacturing database

Add

Extracts the information from a currently selected element and adds it into Part Generation grid.

In the Model Explorer, select a zone or panel. Then select Add. Alternatively you can drag an element from the Model Explorer into Part Generation window.

Hide/Show buttons

Displays the extracting result. Tree buttons allow you to show or hide a specific part type, depending on the result.

If you select a button for the first time, the application changes the button color to a lighter shade and hides corresponding parts in the Part Generation grid. If you select the same button again, the application changes the button color to a darker shade and shows the corresponding parts in the Part Generation grid again.

Show the number of succeeded elements.

Allows to show/hide the successful elements

Warnings

Shows the number of elements having a warning.

Allows to show/hide the elements having a warning.

Errors

Shows the number of elements having an error.

Allows to show/hide the elements having an error.

Part Generation grid

Contains the added elements. Icons on the added elements indicate the type of addition result.

Extract / Adding successful.

Extract / Adding successful, Warning(s) occurred.

Extract / Adding not successful, Error(s) occurred.

Detailed results are available as tool tip on the icon.

If you select the icon the application displays the Production Model Inspector.

For more information, see Production Model Inspector.

If you select a part in the Part Generation grid and do a right mouse click, the application displays the context menu.

Inspect

Displays the Production Model Inspector and shows detailed information about the selected element.

Initial panel data extracted from design model:

Final part information after whole Part Generation process:

For more information, see Production Model Inspector.

Process

Executes the processing on selected elements.

Depending on the panel content several processing stages are executed:

  • Split panels into parts,

  • Apply notches to parts,

  • Apply cutouts to parts,

  • Apply cutouts to parts,

  • Apply markings to parts,

  • Apply shrinkage to parts,

    For more information, see Create automatic Shrinkage Compensation on a plate.

  • Bevel calculation,

  • Excess calculation,

  • Tap calculation.

Processing results are indicated via images.

Processing successful.

Processing successful, Warning(s) occurred.

Processing not successful, Error(s) occurred.

Detailed processing results are available as tool tip on the icon or via Production Model Inspector.

Store

Stores the result of the processing of selected elements into the manufacturing database.

Elements having Blockers or Errors are ignored.

Storage results are indicated via images.

Storage successful.

Storage successful, Warning(s) occurred.

Storage not successful, Error(s) occurred.

Detailed storage results are available as tool tip on the icon or via Production Model Inspector.

Remove

Removes selected elements.

Navigate to

Shows the selected element in the Model Explorer.

User Configuration

Displays the User Configuration - Production window to specify a configuration set to be used. For more information, see User Configuration - Production window.

Remove all

Removes all elements.

Process all

Executes the processing on all elements.

Depending on the panel content several processing stages are executed:

  • Split panels into parts,

  • Apply notches to parts,

  • Apply cutouts to parts,

  • Apply cutouts to parts,

  • Apply markings to parts,

  • Apply shrinkage to parts,

    For more information, see Create automatic Shrinkage Compensation on a plate.

  • Bevel calculation,

  • Excess calculation,

  • Tap calculation.

Store all

Stores the result of the processing of all elements into the manufacturing database.

Elements having Blockers or Errors are ignored.

Once the elements are stored in the manufacturing database they are available in the Manufacturing explorer.
