Collaboration and CAM integration > Using NX CAM Integration
Working with Integrated Simulation and Verification (ISV)
If you want to retrieve machine tools in NX CAM while storing your parts and machine tools in the Teamcenter database, there are several points to consider:
The resource kit provided with Teamcenter contains the same sample machines that are provided in the MACH\resource\library\machine directory in NX. Teamcenter checks for the machine DAT file in the MACH\resource\postprocessor directory. To run the machine tool simulation using these sample machines, copy the machine DAT file ( listed in the PP config file attribute in the database) to the postprocessor directory.
Postprocessor and machine tool driver files can remain in the NX installation (in the MACH/resource/postprocessor directory) or be stored in the Teamcenter database.
