Plate XML Data Model - Manufacturing Features

This contains some general information regarding the manufacturing features of an XML model.

Manufacturing features: Burn Side Up/Opening/Attachment Line/Reference Line/Positive Margin/Negative Margin/Edge Preparation/Roll Line.

The information about manufacturing features through XML provides, the Geometry, Text, Graphic, and others.

This section provides information on the Burn Side Up.

• The Plane node is based on the Burn Side Up feature.
• The origin and direction of X and Y for Burn Side Up:
• • This information provides the X and Y direction based on the 2 dimension plane.
  • Most of the feature geometry projects to this 2D plane and then extracted.

This section provides information on the Outer Contour.

Geometry Node

• Get all edges on the boundary of the plate such as line, arc, and curve.
• Extract geometric information.

This section provides information on the outer contour line case.

• Start and end points requirements for line:
• • Get start and end points of line.
  • Project all points to 2D plane.
  • Add the information about point location projected to XML.
• XML Extraction.

This section provides information on the outer contour arc case.

• Start, middle, end, and center origin points and radius information is the requirements for the line node in XML.
• • Get all required parameter values.
  • Project position values to the 2D plane and get information about projected point location.
  • Add the information about point location projected to XML Start and end points required for the line.
• XML Extraction

This section provides information on the outer contour curves case.

• All curve lines except circles or arcs consider as Curves.
• Two tags Knots Count and Control Points Count;
  • Knots ID, Multiplicity, and value are requirements for Knots Count.
  • X,Y point and weigh and weight are requirements for Control Points Count.
• Get all parameters;
  • Get all parameter values.
  • Project each control point to the 2D plane and get information about projected point location on the 2D plane.
  • Add each point information to XML Start, middle, end, and center origin points and radius information are requirements for the line node in XML.
• XML Extraction.

This section provides information on the opening features.

• Marked, Cut, Tabbed, Bridged, and Drilled types are available.
• Opening feature information provides information as Marking or Cutting to XML.
• • Marking Element: Marked, Drilled.
  • Cutting Element: Cut, Bridged, Tabbed.
  
  
  

This section provides information on the opening features, marking element.

Marked and drilled openings are provided as the Marking element in XML.

This section provides information on the opening features, drilled opening.

Geometry Node: Gets all edges on boundary of opening contour such as line, arc, and curve.

This section provides information on the opening features, tapped opening.

Geometry Node: Gets all edges on boundary of opening contour such as line, arc, and curve.

This section provides information on the opening features, and cutting element.

Cut and Bridged openings are provided as the Cutting element in XML.

This section provides information on the opening features, tapped opening.

Geometry Node: Gets all edges on boundary of opening contour such as line, arc, and curve.

This section provides information on the opening features, bridged opening.

Bridged Opening Tag;

• Get two domains of bridged opening.
• Get all edges on each domain such as line, arc, and curve.
• Generate two cutting nodes for one bridged opening.

This section provides information on the boundary opening features.

• If the boundary opening feature is cut type, the boundary opening geometry applies to the outer contour.
• There is no any geometry information in the cut opening tag. In other opening types, the behavior is the same with the inner contour case.

This section provides information on marking line features.

Attachment Line, Reference Line, and Roll Line are Marking nodes.

This section provides information on margin features.

Positive Margin is provided as the Marking node.

This section provides information on negative margin features.

Negative Margin is not provided as Marking, text information is provided only under the Outer Contour cutting node.

This section provides information on edge preparation features.

Edge Preparation feature is a part of the line under Outer Contour and this provides the Angle, RootGap, and user defined parameters.

This section provides information about the global orientation.

Under U Dir, and V Dir node, provides text and font nodes.

This section provides information about the user-defined texts.

This section provides information about the text node.

Drawing text in DPR is based on text and font properties, and is under any feature node, if text exists.

This section provides information about the font node.

Font node is under Text node in XML, and properties applies to text in DPR.

This section provides information about the graphic XML node.

This provides graphic information for each feature, and not used in Act/Cut.

This section provides information about the plate/panel orientation and radius of the roll line in the plate/panel fabrication sketch and in the XML file.

When viewing the marking face in the flattened plate/panel normally, that is, then the BSU +Z direction points toward you. The plate/panel at the roll line forms toward you (that is, toward the BSU +Z direction) or away (that is, opposite of the BSU +Z direction.)

When viewing the marking face normally, (that is, the BSU +Z direction points toward you) the plate forming is toward you (that is, toward the BSU +Z direction.)

When viewing the marking face is normally (that is, the BSU +Z direction points toward you.) The plate forming is away from you (that is, opposite of the BSU +Z direction.)

• If the plate/panel is formed toward you, that is, toward the BSU +Z direction when the marking face is viewed normally, the orientation of the roll line is This side.
• If the plate/panel is formed away from you, that is, opposite of the BSU +Z direction when the marking face is viewed normally, the roll line orientation is Other Side.

When the plate forming is away from you at the roll line when the marking face is viewed normally, the orientation of the roll line isOther Side.

Roll line radius and orientation displays;

• Roll Line tab of Edit Features of formed plate/panel properties;
  • Radius: Radius of curvature of the roll line
  • Orientation: The orientation of the roll line (This Side or Other Side).
  
  
  
• Annotation text of the roll line feature contains the name of the roll line, radius, and orientation of the roll line. Text = [Name of Roll line feature], [Radius], [Orientation].
  
  
• Plate/Panel fabrication sketch contains the annotation text of the roll line, RollLine.1, 2438mm, Other Side (1). This is the Near Side View.15, Scale 1:50.
  
  
• Plate XML in the text node of the roll line containing the radius and orientation.
