Using resources in NX CAM

If you run NX CAM in native mode, but want to use tools that are managed in Resource Manager, you need access to DEF and DAT files that contain the most up-to-date classification and resource information. You can export the classification hierarchy and the information about classified resources using the mrm_export_resources utility. Optionally, you can also export attached documents.

To run the NX CAM Integration (managed mode), your environment must first be configured.

Fixture and machine modules

Prior to Teamcenter 13.2, the module {MACH} Machines and Devices contained a simple class structure of eight and four classes.

Beginning in Teamcenter 13.2, machine classes are in the {MAC} Machines module and the devices are in the {FIX} Fixtures and Devices module. These modules are robust and are based on industry standards.

Machines module setup

The {MAC} Machines module released in Teamcenter 13.2 is a replacement for the existing {MACH} Machines and Devices machine classification.

It is possible to use both machine class structures in the same database.

There are three ways you can set up your system:

• New customers use the new machine classes.

• Existing customers use the old machine classes.

• Use both machine classes to facilitate a migration from old to new.

There are three machine definition files for the NX library machine search included in the 6.2 Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL). These definition files are copied to the folder %UGII_BASE_DIR%\MACH\resource\library\machine\inclass when you select the Configure NX-CAM option when you use the MRL setup.

You can decide which libraries are included in the NX machine search:

By default the dbc_inclass_mach_en.def definition file is used.

• To show only the new machine classes, choose the dbc_inclass_mach_en_MRL6.2.def definition file. Then rename the file dbc_inclass_mach_en_MRL6.2.def to dbc_inclass_mach_en.def.

• To show only the old machine classes, choose the dbc_inclass_mach_en_MRL6.0.def definition file. Then rename the dbc_inclass_mach_en_MRL6.0.def to dbc_inclass_mach_en.def

• To show both the old and the new classes, choose the dbc_inclass_mach_en.def definition file.

Devices module setup

The {FIX} Fixtures and Devices module released in Teamcenter 13.2 is a replacement for the existing {MACH} Machines and Devices device classification.

It is possible to use both device class structures in the same database.

There are three ways you can set up your system:

• New customers use the new device classes.

• Existing customers use the old device classes.

• Use both device classes to facilitate a migration from old to new.

There are three device definition files for the NX library device search included in the 6.2 Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL). These definition files are copied to the folder %UGII_BASE_DIR%\MACH\resource\library\device\inclass when you select the Configure NX-CAM option when you use the MRL setup.

You can decide which libraries are included in the NX device search:

By default the dbc_inclass_device_en.def definition file is used.

• To show only the new device classes, choose the dbc_inclass_device_en_MRL6.2.def definition file. Then rename the file dbc_inclass_device_en_MRL6.2.def to dbc_inclass_device_en.def.

• To show only the old device classes, choose the dbc_inclass_device_en_MRL6.0.def definition file. Then rename the dbc_inclass_device_en_MRL6.0.def to dbc_inclass_device_en.def

• To show both the old and the new classes, choose the dbc_inclass_device_en.def definition file.
