The material file (*.MTR) is linked to tables (*.csv) which enable you to calculate cutting conditions automatically. These cutting conditions are called in the technology page of the cycles with the icon. |
The functions relative to the material and the cutting conditions are available in the machining tree; do a right-click on Material:
|
Open |
Loading of a material file via the Windows explorer (Mat folder) |
|
|

Opening the material file to create or modify the characteristics of a material and accede to the cutting conditions editor |
|
|
Save as... |
You can register the material file |
|
|
Attributes Edition |
Enables to modify the attributes of the solid |
|
|
Cutting Conditions Calculation |
Click the button to re-calculate all the cutting conditions according to the modifications done in the material file. |
