Settings for creating the NC file with hyperVIEW. In order to use automatic postprocessing, the calculation output directory and temporary directory should not have a deep directory structure, e.g.,

C:/hyperDent        Calculation directory

C:/tmp                Temporary directory

Postprocessing



Postprocessing strategy

Postprocessor type: Standard or user-specific (option).


Postprocessing mode

Settings for calling up the postprocessor:



Start hyperVIEW

Start hyperVIEW and resume after scan

Immediate postprocessing


Start MachineConnect




Yes

Opens Machine Connect to transfer milling programs directly to the machine.



No

Milling programs are stored in the defined folder.


Jobwise output



Yes

Milling jobs are sent to the machine one after the other as soon as they are calculated. The machine starts machining immediately when it is ready for operation.



No

All milling jobs are calculated before they are sent to the machine together.


Toolspecific output




Yes

No

Tool-specific output of an NC file after each tool change.

Output for all tools.


PP output directory




hyperDENT work directory

NC files are written to the NC subfolder in the work directory (calculation output).



hyperVIEW configuration

The NC files are written to the output directory configured for each machine in hyperVIEW.



Fixed directory

The NC files are written to the specified directory in the NC subfolder.


Fixed directory

Path name: Drive and directory for the NC file.


Create subdirectory

Click “Yes” to create a subdirectory for the NC file in the output directory.


PP output file name for the NC file.

Specify or create according to program-specific configuration.



hyperVIEW configuration

The NC files are created for a specific machine using the settings configured in hyperVIEW.



Fixed file name

An NC file (job mode not possible) is created for each calculation according to the default [NC file name].


NC file name

Default and parameter for creating the “Fixed name” for the NC file.

Parameters can be used. Other characters can be inserted between the parameters.



[STOCKNAME]

Parameter name of the blank.



[MODELNAME]

Parameter model name of the first part.



[NCIDX:1]

Parameter counter with start value (1) for incrementally numbering the NC files, e.g.: “Crown_1.nc,” “Crown_2.nc,” “Crown_3.nc.”



[TIMESTAMP]

Parameter start time of the calculation (date, time).



[FIXTURENAME]

Name of the fixture.



[MACHINENAME]

Name of the machine.



[MATERIALNAME]

Name of the material.



[BLANKTYPENAME]

Displays the type of blank.



[BLANKEXTERNALID]

External ID of the blank.



[BLANKCHARGE]

Batch number of the raw part.



[DATE]

Date



[TIME]

Time



[YYYY]

Year, four digits



[YY]

Year, two digits



[MM]

Month in year



[DD]

Day of the month



[hh]

Hour of the day



[mm]

Minute in the hour



[ss]

second in the minute


NC filename multi-holder

If a multi-holder is used, this name is used as the NC file name. Here, the same parameters are possible as for the NC file name.


Create info file

Create XML file with essential information on the NC file, such as blank and calculated parts. This is saved under the same name in the same directory. The info file also contains information about G0 and G1 toolpaths and times. If the project file has already been saved, a reference to the project file is provided in the NC info file.


      Contents of the info file




<statistic>

Part of the info file with the G0 and G1 details.



<toolchanges>

Number of tool changes



<G0Length>

G0 toolpath in meters



<G1Length>

G1 toolpath in meters



<G0Time>

G0 time in h:min



<G1Time>

G1 time in h:min



<TotalTime>

Total time in h:min


Create screenshot before calculation

Create screenshot and save in the NC output directory.


       Image view direction

View for the screenshot.



Current view




Top, bottom, left, right, front, back view



Front right, front left, back right, back left view.


       Show names of parts to be calculated

Yes, part names are displayed on the screenshot.


       Image resolution width

Width in pixels


       Image resolution height
