TOOL LIBRARY NCL/TOOLIB

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/292255.html

NCL/TOOLIB allows you to create and maintain a library of tools.
NCL/TOOLIB allows the following information to be stored for each tool:
• Tool number
• Tool description
• Cutter definition (mathematical definition used for tool motion calculation)
• Cutter display definition (used for graphic display)
• Cutter display parameters (moving or instanced, partial segments or full
segments)
• NCL/CADD symbol to be used as the displayed cutter or tool holder.
• NCL/CADD drawing file to be associated with this tool (used to display a
sketch of the tool)
• User defined command to be output each time this tool is loaded

New graphics engine in NCL

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/292254.html
New graphics engine.
• Graphics are now always displayed in the back buffer only with the front buffer being updated directly from the back buffer.
-- This method does not display graphics as they are loaded or drawn thereby eliminating the flashing effect caused by frequent erasing and displaying of different areas of the screen.
-- All graphics will now appear at once on the screen when a unibase is loaded. This method results in a much cleaner display.
• The Display Buffer Modals form has been updated to match the current methods of displaying graphics.
To access this form choose Defaults -> Graphics Settings -> Display Buffers
• The “Buffer Copy” field determines the style to use when refreshing the graphics.
-- This field has two possible settings (Swap Buffer) and (Pixel Copy):
-- “Swap Buffer” swaps the back buffer with the front buffer. In order to use this mode, the graphics in the back buffer must remain unchanged when swapping the buffers. Most graphics cards on Windows systems support this feature (it may be a setting such as "Force Copy Swap"). Most Unix systems do not support this feature.
-- “Pixel Copy” copies pixels between graphics buffers.
• The “Erase Entity” field determines how a geometric entity is to be erased.

An Avoidance Entity option has been added to the FMILL command
• An Avoidance Entity can be any of the following geometry types: surface, plane, curve, line, circle. Up to 10 Avoidance Entities are allowed in a single FMILL command. Each Avoidance Entity can have an optional thick parameter.
Enhanced FMILL Boundary Control
• Added new AVOID option named BOTH that acts as a combination of the DOWN and the intermediate boundary retract.
• When using the BOTH or DOWN options the user can choose the direction of cut bewteen intermediate boundary sections.
• Added a Final Pass Feedrate option.

Getting Started Using Adams/Flex

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/286838.html
Welcome to Adams/Flex
Adams/Flex is an add-on module to MD Adams products that lets you add flexible bodies to your models
to achieve more realistic simulation results.
If you’ve never used Adams/Flex before, this guide is a good place to start learning about Adams/Flex.
As you work through the two tutorials that we have provided, you will learn most of the basic concepts
and tasks that you can perform using Adams/Flex.
Before doing these tutorials you should be familiar with the basic features of the Adams/View interface.
For information about the Adams/View interface, see the guide, Getting Started Using Adams/View.

About the Tutorials
The two tutorials in this guide give you an introduction to using Adams/Flex:
• Building and Simulating a Flexible Model - The first tutorial teaches you how to integrate
flexible bodies into Adams/View and attach rigid bodies to them. The tutorial also introduces
you to Adams/Flex basics, such as the options that are available for setting up the modal content
of flexible bodies before a simulation.
• Exchanging a Rigid Body with a Flexible Body - The second tutorial teaches you how to bring
a flexible body into an existing model and replace a rigid body with the flexible body. It lets you
see how easy it is to integrate the flexible body into an existing rigid model so you can gradually
add complexity and realism to your model.
Note that there are additional tutorials in the guide, Using Adams/Flex, that explain many of the
advanced features of Adams/Flex. They are presented in the chapters in which the advanced features are
explained.

Auto Cross Correlation Function

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/293114.html
The nSoft ACCF module performs auto-correlation and cross-correlation on up to two single
parameter files.
It calculates the auto correlation function of a single time series signal and plots it graphically.
If two input files are entered, ACCF auto-correlates the two signals and, if possible, cross-correlates
each file. These results can also be plotted.

Overview of Anomaly Detection

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/293116.html
Anomaly detection is the process of checking a data stream against a set of conditions
defining the validity of the data.
The software system which performs this function comprises three main parts.
• Anomaly definition - Define which anomalies to monitor on which data channels. A single
definition can be used with multiple test data sets.
• Anomaly detection - Perform a detection on one or more data sets given a previously
created anomaly definition.
• Anomaly display - Display the details of the detected anomalies, either graphically or in
a tabular form.
These three parts are provided as three separate programs, ANDEFINE, ANDETECT
and ANMULEDT.
