HD63824: MACHINING (AMG) / MULTI-AXIS FLANK CONTOURING VIOLATED LOCAL MO DIFICATION CONDITION.

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Machining (AMG) / Multi-Axis Flank Contouring
  violated local modification condition.
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Open the CATProcess
  2. Edit the machining operation
  3. On the geometry tab RMB on the drive surfaces
  pictorial and choose "Local Modifications"
  4. Notice that drive surface 3 has a stopping
  condition of "To" drive surface 4
  5. Compute the toolpath--> the toolpath goes Past
  drive surface 4
  6. Expected Result ->Toolpath should go "To" DS 4
  7. Edit the operation and change the stopping
  condition of drive surface 3 to "Past"
  8. Compute -> The result is the same
  9. Edit the operation and change the stopping
  condition of drive surface 3 to "On"
  10. Compute -> The result is the same.
  It is not possible to get "To" or "On" stopping
  condition on DS 3
  This is Problem.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Multi-Axis Flank Contouring should not violate local
  modification condition.
  .
  .

  Drive Surface
  MODIFICATION:
  Two additions are needed to the documentation:
  1)
  Add the following precision to the description of the
  "Local Stopping condition" parameter:
  In some cases, the stopping condition may be
  ignored (for example, if the drive to reach is
  located after the Past position of the current drive).
  2)
  Add the following precision to the description of the
  "Tool side on drive" parameter:
  This parameter is predominant compared the local
  Stopping condition.
