About Technological Results

The Create Technological Results capability supplies technological information about the features included in a body. This topic provides you with the information you need to create technological results.

The following are discussed:

Creating Technological Results

Generating Technological Results

To generate technological results, you need to apply the command to bodies.

Technological Results takes knowledge parameters as well as User Defined Features (UDF) into account.

Once Technological Results has been applied to holes and threads for which knowledge parameters were defined, the Technological Results node does not display nodes dedicated to this type of result. Conversely, nodes dedicated to UDFs are displayed in the Technological Results node.

Warning: Technological results cannot be generated on Geometrical Sets and Ordered Geometrical Sets.

Deactivating Technological Results

If after generating technological results you need to go on designing and updating your 3D shape, we advise you deactivate the technological results obtained. Deactivating generated technological results is a good way of reducing the time spent by the app in recalculating the changes made to the 3D shape. Keep in mind then, that to optimize your design, you can use the Deactivate capability available from context menus.

Deleting Technological Results

It is possible to reduce the number of technological results generated by applying the Delete capability. To delete a technological result node, right-click the node and select Delete. This might be useful especially if you do not want to make all technological information available to everybody and need to restrict the information you provide.

After deleting a technological result node, if later on you reapply Create Technological Results, the node you deleted is not recomputed. If you still need to retrieve that node, then use Reset Deleted Technological Result . To use that capability, right-click the Technological Results node and select Reset Deleted Technological Result from the context menu.

If you have pasted the body using the As Result with Link All Views option, there is no link between technological results in the pasted body and the copied body. As this option generates a Sheet Metal body, it has its own technological results. However, if you modify a hole or thread feature in the copied body that updates the pasted Sheet Metal body, the technological results are updated accordingly.

Recommendations of Use

Some recommendations while using this capability are as follows:

  • Downstream apps usually process root bodies. If intermediate bodies are not used, do not generate technological results for them. We advise that you generate technological results on root bodies only.
  • Generate technological results once you have finished your design.
