The process to convert an AVEVA E3D Designmodel to a CAESAR II file is done by an external program psi2cii.exe in the PSI core directory. This uses template files to determine the configuration of units and axes to be transferred to CAESAR II. The configuration is defined by editing the file convert_to_cii.bat in the PSI core directory to change the uncommented line containing set Template to the required template file.
This file has the following lines:
rem choose one of the following templates:
|
rem |
set Template=%CoreLoc%\mmtemplate.cii |
|
rem |
set Template=%CoreLoc%\mmtemplate_yup.cii |
|
rem |
set Template=%CoreLoc%\inchtemplate.cii |
|
rem |
set Template=%CoreLoc%\inchtemplate_yup.cii |
rem The following templates are for use with CAESARII 2018 and beyond:
|
rem |
set Template=%CoreLoc%\mmtemplate_2018.cii |
|
rem |
set Template=%CoreLoc%\mmtemplate_yup_2018.cii |
|
rem |
set Template=%CoreLoc%\inchtemplate_2018.cii |
|
rem |
set Template=%CoreLoc%\inchtemplate_yup_2018.cii |
set Template=%CoreLoc%\mmtemplate.cii
For mm projects use a mm template and for imperial projects use an inch template.
To configure the axis system to Y is U use yup template
For CAESAR II 2018 and beyond, use a 2018 template.
