| Use Case | ||
AbstractThis article discusses the CAAMaiDumpToolPathCommand use case: |
The main role of this use case is to show how to use the CAA2 methods to read data in a tool path.
CAAMaiDumpToolPathCommand is a use case of the CAAManufacturingItf.edu framework that illustrates ManufacturingInterfaces framework capabilities.
CAAMaiToolPathCustomization runs with the Process document shown on figure below that contains a "Drilling Dwell Delay" operation and a "Pocketing" operation.
Generating report on "Pocketing.1" operation
Generating report on "Drilling Dwell Delay.1" operation
Generating report on "Profile Contouring.1" operation
The tool path is a CATIMfgCompoundTraject object. It has one child, which is a CATIMfgTPMultipleMotion object.
The CATIMfgTPMultipleMotion object contains several "polylines" and circle arcs: all paths are machining paths with machining feedrate.

Generating report on "Profile Contouring.1" operation
The tool path is a CATIMfgCompoundTraject object. It has one child, which is a CATIMfgTPMultipleMotionWithProfileData object.
A CATIMfgTPMultipleMotionWithProfileData object is a kind of CATIMfgTPMultipleMotion object on which it is possible to store cutter profile datas.
The CATIMfgTPMultipleMotionWithProfileData object contains several "polylines" to describe tip points: cutter profile motions linked to these "polylines" are either "polylines", or "circle arcs".

To launch CAAMaiDumpToolPathCommand, you will need to:
| Windows | InstallRootDirectory\CAADoc\CAAManufacturingItf.edu\CNext\resources\graphic\ |
| Unix | InstallRootDirectory/CAADoc/CAAManufacturingItf.edu/CNext/resources/graphic/ |
The CAAMaiDumpToolPathCommand use case is a C++ class named CAAMaiDumpToolPathCommand located in the CAAMaiDumpToolPathCommand.m module of the CAAManufacturingItf.edu framework:
| Windows | InstallRootDirectory\CAADoc\CAAManufacturingItf.edu\CAAMaiDumpToolPathCommand.m |
| Unix | InstallRootDirectory/CAADoc/CAAManufacturingItf.edu/CAAMaiDumpToolPathCommand.m |
where InstallRootDirectory is the directory where the CAA CD-ROM
is installed.
There are several logical steps in CAAMaiDumpToolPathCommand:
We now comment each of these steps by looking at the code.

The method DumpToolPath is called when an operation is selected.
The name of the report file is DumpToolPath.txt in the temporary directory (by default, C:/Temp on NT, /tmp on UNIX): if the file already exists, a suffix is added (DumpToolPath-1.txt, DumpToolPath-2.txt, ....).
With the interface CATIMfgToolPathManagement and the method GetToolPath,
the tool path is read on the operation:
The tool path always implements the interface CATIMfgCompoundTraject (see below). The tool path can also implement the interface CATIMfgToolPathCycle (see below).
The method LoadsPPTable from the interface CATIMfgCompoundTraject
loads the PP table linked to the Part Operation containing the selected
activity: the call to this method is necessary to have a correct syntax
evaluation of nc_commands and nc_instructions.
If the tool path is a CATIMfgToolPathCycle object, the method DumpCycle
is called ; otherwise, the method DumpCompoundTraject is
called.

The CATIMfgCompoundTraject interface identifies the object stored on the operation to model the tool path.
It can own:
It can also have children:
The source shows the use of the following methods:
GetCharacteristics: computes or retrieves values of machining
time and total time (taking into account tool motions and values of
feedrates) . It retrieves also the total number of linear and circular
motionsRetrievesFixedToolAxis: analyzes if the tool axis of the tool
path is fixed or not, even if a tool axis is stored on each point of the
tool pathGetToolAxis: retrieves the value of the reference tool axisGetSpindle: retrieves the value of the reference spindle
speedGetFeedrate: retrieves the values of the reference feedratesGetToolAssembly: retrieves the tool or the tool assembly of
the operationGetCorrectorNumber: retrieves the tool corrector numberGetStartPoint: computes the start tip point (and its tool
axis) of the tool pathGetEndPoint: computes the end tip point (and its tool axis)
of the tool path.The interface CATIMfgToolPathComponents and the method GetAllElements
are used to retrieve the children of the CATIMfgCompoundTraject object.
Three cases are possible for each child:
DumpCycle
is called to dump its attributes and its childrenDumpCompoundTraject
is called to dump its attributes and its childrenDumpMultipleMotionWithProfileData is called to dump its
attributes.DumpMultipleMotion
is called to dump its attributes.

The CATIMfgToolPathCycle interface inherits from the CATIMfgCompoundTraject interface.
The CATIMfgToolPathCycle object is used to modelize machining cycles inside tool path:
The DumpCycle method shows the use of the following methods:
GetCycleLocationPoints: retrieves the points where to apply
the machining cycleGetCycleLocationAxis: retrieves the tool axis that can be
associated to the points where to apply the machining cycleGetCommandEvaluation: if the cycle is described by a
NC_Command or NC_Instruction, evaluates the syntax of this NC_Command or
NC_InstructionGetUserSyntax: if the cycle is described by a syntax entered
by the user, retrieves this syntax.In the sample, the DumpCompoundTraject method is called to dump
common attributes between CATIMfgToolPathCycle object and CATIMfgCompoundTraject
object.

The CATIMfgTPMultipleMotion interface is useful to modelize the tool motions.
It can describe several tool motions which can be the following types:
The sample illustrates the use of the following methods:
GetNumberOfTipPoints: retrieves the total number of tip
points for all "polylines" and circle arcs of the CATIMfgTPMultipleMotion
objectGetNumberOfContactPoints, GetNumberOfContactNormals,
GetNumberOfToolAxisPoints: retrieve respectively the number of
contact points, the number of contact normals, the number of tool axisGetTipPoint: retrieves coordinates of a tip point (with an
index between 1 and the total number of tip points retrieved by GetNumberOfTipPoints)GetNumberOfSubTrajects: retrieves the total number of
sub-motions ("polyline", Circle Arc, PPCommand (NC_Command or
NC_Instruction), User Syntax)GetToolAssembly: retrieves the tool or tool assemblyGetSubTrajectType: retrieves the type ("polyline",
CircleArc, PPCommand (NC_Command or NC_Instruction), User Syntax) of a
given sub-motionGetTrajectType: retrieves the mode of work of the tool
("MachiningTraject","ApproachTraject", ....) of a
given sub-motionGetStartAndEndNumber: retrieves index of first and last tip
point for a given sub-motionGetStartAndEndNumberGetFeedrateConstantValue: retrieves the value of feedrate for
a given sub-motionGetSpindleConstantValue: retrieves the value of spindle speed
for a given sub-motionGetSpindleRotationWay: retrieves the way of rotation of the
spindle for a given sub-motionGetToolAxisConstantValue: retrieves the value of tool axis for
a given sub-motionGetCircleCharacteristics: retrieves the specific
characteristics if the given sub-motion is a circle arcGetCorrectorNumber: retrieves the tool corrector number of
a given sub-motionGetCommandEvaluation: retrieves the evaluation of the syntax if
the given sub-motion is a PP Command (NC_Command or NC_Instruction).

The CATIMfgTPMultipleMotionWithProfileData interface inherits from the CATIMfgTPMultipleMotion interface.
As the object with implements the CATIMfgTPMultipleMotion interface, the object with implements the CATIMfgTPMultipleMotionWithProfileData interface allows to model tool motions.
It can contain several sub-motions of the following type:
Specifically to the object which implements the CATIMfgTPMultipleMotionWithProfileData interface, it is possible to add cutter profile data on each tip sub-motion.
To model these cutter profile data, you can use either a "polyline", or a circle arc.
The sample illustrates the use of the following methods:
GetProfileType : retrieves the type of cutter profile data
associated to a tip sub-motion (none, "polyline",circle arc)GetProfileSide : retrieves the side on which are located
cutter profile data (none, right, left).GetNumberOfProfilePoints: retrieves the total number of
cutter profile points for a tip sub-motionGetProfilePoint: retrieves the coordinates of a cutter
profile point.Methods to retrieve characteristics of cutter profile data described by a circle arc exist also.
This article provides an example on how to use the ManufacturingInterfaces classes to read data of the tool path of an operation , and has illustrated them on an interactive command to dump the tool path linked to a manufacturing operation.
