Release Note

There were very few functional enhancements to this release, as the main R&D

priority was to synchronize the releases between V5 and V6.

R&D efforts were focused on aligning the code for the first major release of

V5/V6 forward and backward compatibility with FULL FEATURE HISTORY.

V5R20 V5R21V5-6R2012 (aka R22)

V6R2010x V6R2011x V6R2012/12x

• This new functionality lets you simplify 3D shapes when they are too

complex for finite element analyses.

32


› Creating Chamfers

• This new functionality lets you create chamfers by selecting one or more

edges.

33


› Creating a Blend Corner

• This new functionality enables you to create blend corners and locally

redesign the surfaces.

34


› Creating 2D-View Sections

• This new functionality lets you create 2D-view sections which is a set used

as a means to visualize geometry details along multiple section planes and

that can contain all types of shape design features.

35



› Auto filleting

• A new Round radius option to round convex edges and a new Invert material

side button to reverse the orientation of the material have been added.

36


› Creating Rough Offset Surfaces

• You can now create a rough offset with minimum deviation.

37


› Trimming Geometry

• You can now trim the surfaces using the Pieces mode.

38


› Deforming Elements According to Shape Morphing

• Three new constraint options: None (G0), Rigid tangency and Rigid space are

now available with four new transformation types: Reference translation,

Reference isometry, Reference similarity, and Reference linear transformation.

• The new Parameters tab enables you to define constraint propagation on the

deformed surface.

• You can now easily identify the target point of the corresponding reference

coupling point.

39


› Unfolding a Surface

• You can now visualize the distortion in the 3D view.

• A new Distortion color maps area has been added. The check boxes in this

area enable you to display distortions of the surface to unfold and unfolded

surface.

40


› Creating Fill Surfaces

• You can now define a fill surface using inner boundaries.

• You can select a continuity type for each support surface.

• You can now select curves as passing elements.

• You can now create a fill by selecting only the inner boundaries and passing

points.

41

• You can now select the offset law type between Linear and S type.

42


› Working with Multi-Sections Surfaces

• A new Area Law tab enables you to define and control the shape of a multi-

sections surface between its sections by defining a law..

43

Machining

Machining

› Prismatic Machining


› Add PP Word in Machining Patterns and Axial Operations

• You can insert and display PP Word instructions before any hole in the

Machining Pattern and Axial Machining Operations.

45

Machining

› Create a Pocketing Operation for Machining Closed Pockets

• A new command in geometry panel of Pocketing and Profile Contouring

operations is added for the selection of a permanent representation of a PMA

feature from the 3D viewer.

46

Machining

› Create a Profile Contouring Operation – Side Step First

• This provides the following benefits to the user: Reduce overall machining time,

remove unnecessary connecting motions between the guides, and each guide

would be machined completed and then the tool would move to the next guide.

• This would reduce the number of operations the user has to create currently in

order to achieve the result of completing machining on each guide and then

moving to the next guide.

47

Machining


› Pocketing Machining Operations

• Three new strategies Concentric, Inward Spiral Morphing, and Outward

Spiral Morphing are added in the Tool Path Style.

• These strategies are dedicated to hard material milling and ensure:

• Constant amount of material removal and load on the tool for Concentric

strategy.

• Continuous cutting motion without retract and maximum step over to

control the load on the tool for Spiral Morphing.

48

Machining

49

Machining

› Profile Contouring Operation

• The following enhancements increase automation and productivity:

• Control of the side to machine: instead of relying on the orientation of the

first curve, you can select a 3D point to indicate the material side without

ambiguity.

50

Machining



• Improved Processing of Join in Profile Contouring: Chain curves form a

join in contiguous sets and process each set as a guide contour.

51

Machining



• Control of the Tool Axis Motion in Profile Contouring: A parameter

Smoothing tool path along Tool Axis (%) is added in the Step over tab to

smooth the tool path and avoid motions along the tool axis direction.

52

Machining



• Support of Multiple Contours: No need to split the Profile Contouring

operation into several operations.

53

Machining

› Improved Collision Check and Collision Avoidance

• Ability to include the Part from Part Operation in the collision check performed

on macro for the following Machining Operations:

• Profile Contouring, Groove Milling, Pocketing, Facing, Curve Following, 4x

Pocketing and Trochoid Milling Machining Operations.

• The Part from Part Operation check box is added in the Collision Checking

dialog box and the Collision Checking button is added where needed in

the Geometry tab.

54

Machining

• Improved Intermediate Stock Management in Axial Machining Operations

• A Drill through stock up to bottom check box is added in the Geometry tab.

This helps to perform the axial operation start from top of the stock up to bottom

of the stock in case of Through hole .

• A Spot drill to part check box is added in the Geometry tab of the Spot

Drilling Machining Operation. It allows the drilling from the intermediate stock up

to the part (and ensures the spot-drilling depth/diameter on the part).

.

55

Machining

• Prismatic Roughing

• When the tool is in contact with a revolution surface, you can choose to generate

an arc interpolation output.

.

56

Machining

• 3D Viewer of Prismatic Machining, Machinable Axial Feature and Machining

Pattern

• This gives you the capability to identify a Prismatic machining area feature

visually in 3D viewer by moving the cursor over feature or selection in

manufacturing view.

• This also gives you the capability where the system would add representations of

Prismatic Machining Area Feature and Machinable Axial Features in 3D viewer.
