Technological Results

  Since R16, Technological Results are automatically created in Mold Tooling Design and supply technological information on the features included in a body. This information can then be reused by downstream applications (Manufacturing applications for instance) or downstream users.

Provided they exist in the first place, Technological Results are propagated automatically in Mold Tooling Design.
Before an insertion, Mold Tooling Design searches for an existing Technological Result in component templates.
If no Technological Result exists, Mold Tooling Design generates the Technological Result automatically in the inserted component.

If Technological Results were not created nor propagated on an existing die, you can create and propagate them as explained in For Feature created before R16.

Note that a Technological Result cannot be propagated if its supporting face has disappeared.

Highlighting Technological Results

In case you want to see which faces are associated to technological results, switch to Part Design and select Insert > Annotations > 3D-Annotations-Query Switch On/Switch Off.

Incorrect Display of Technological Results

This occurs when there has been a problem in the creation of the Technological Result when importing a solid using Paste Special As Result with Link in the part. This has been fixed in R17SP3. If your part has been created before R17SP3 and you have this problem, you must:

  • delete the Technological Result container of the body you want to copy/paste in the original part,
  • Recreate the Technological Result with the contextual menu,
  • update the part containing the result of the copy/paste.

The thread analysis will work fine.
 

For further information, please see the Part Design User's Guide.
 

For Features created before R16

You can create Technological Results for features created before R16 as follows:
 

On WINDOWS

  1. Open a command prompt (MS-DOS) window.

  2. Change to the default folder in which you installed the product:

    The default folder is:

    C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\Bn\intel_a\code\bin

    (where n is the current release number)

  3. Enter the command:

    catstart -run "CATMldGenerateTRForTooling.exe DocumentPath"  

    (where DocumentPath is the full path of the documents you want to process)
 

On UNIX

  1. Change to the directory:

    /usr/DassaultSystemes/Bn/OS_a/code/command/

    (where n is the current release number)

  2. Run the command:

    ./catstart -run "CATMldGenerateTRForTooling DocumentPath" 

    (where DocumentPath is the full path of the documents you want to process)
The input is, a path or a list of path of assemblies for which the Technological Results need to be created.
The output is the assemblies upgraded with the technological result for all the tooling components and their holes, and a report on possible errors that may occur.
The output document upgraded with the Technological Results is overwritten on the input document.
In order to be upgraded by the batch the input documents must have writing rights.
