| Simulate Machine Code Data with ICAM's Control Emulator ICAM Technologies Corporation introduces Control Emulator™ (CE), a new software product allowing NC programmers to simulate and test NC programs using Machine Code Data (MCD) within the CATIA V5 / DELMIA environment. As compared to traditional APT-based verification systems, which simulate the programmer's planned tool path. CE supports more meaningful simulations that represent how the machine tool will react to the MCD output generated from the post-processor. Deploying CATIA V5 / DELMIA / CE as an integrated package enables the user to run simulations on a per operation basis during the NC programming session, resulting in a significant reduction in NC programming time. CE provides a powerful validation method allowing users to determine the association between MCD and specific operations within the NC program and allows for specific modifications to the CATIA CATProcess depending on simulation results. CE reads MCD to emulate the actions of CNC machines and controllers and provides users with the following advanced functions: | |||||||||||||||
| • Validates the accuracy of the MCD | ; : * ^ i - ¿ : - * | ||||||||||||||
| • Verifies the tool path as described by the MCD • Tests the MCD for machine / tool / part collisions • Compares the design part against an MCD-based material removal simulation Control Emulator Benefit Highlights Integrated within CATIA V5 / DELMIA The integrated CATIA V5 / DELMIA / CE solution enables NC programmers to graphically simulate and test NC programs for collisions and over-travel before the MCD is implemented in a production environment. In addition, CE accommodates an "in-process" or "on-demand" CATIA V5 / DELMIA / CE simulation environment vs. the existing multiple process loop currently offered by independent competitive solutions. Benefits include improvements to NC programmer productivity and manufacturing process efficiency. Seamlessly Integrated with CAM-POST® CE is fully integrated with CAM-POST ICAM's leading-edge NC post-processor development software; therefore, users may employ advanced features inherent to CAM-POST such as Macro Tracing. Call Stack Status, Input and Output Stepping and NC Variable Watching and Modification. | |||||||||||||||
