Collaboration and CAM integration > Using NX CAM Integration

Setting up a machining environment using the master model concept

The CAM integration supports the Master Model concept for setting up an assembly part. The Master Model approach enables you to separate the derived data for a part, from the basic geometric definition of it. A good example of this, in practice, is to separate NC data from the geometric definition of your part. To do this, you create a separate part file and then include the master part file (the geometry) as a component in it. You can then create NC data in a part file that references the geometry and other necessary part files, as follows:

CAM part (ugmaster of MENCMachining type)       |_ geometry (ugmaster)       |_ machine (for example, sim010101_001)       |_ fixtures         |_ workpiece
