Configuring the Machining Data Library

When you search for machining data in the Manufacturing Resource Library database, such as feeds and speeds, you can configure the searches by activating or deactivating queries that are used to search the data. Modify the mrl_feeds_speeds_config.txt configuration file to support your specific requirements. For example, when you select Set Machining Data , enable the following query types and query in the Machining Data Table for combinations of the Library References below. To disable the query, set the item to 0. smd_query_Machine_Method_PartMaterial_ToolMaterial_ToolDiameter = 1 smd_query_Machine_Method_PartMaterial_ToolMaterial_ToolDiameter_Interpolation = 1 smd_query_Machine_Method_PartMaterial_ToolMaterial = 1 smd_query_Method_PartMaterial_ToolMaterial_ToolDiameter = 1 smd_query_Method_PartMaterial_ToolMaterial_ToolDiameter_Interpolation = 1 smd_query_Method_PartMaterial_ToolMaterial = 1 Note The queries that are activated are executed in the order shown above. If a query is deactivated, it is skipped and the next query in the list is executed. Two other key benefits with the new configuration file are: You can use the methods available previous to Teamcenter 11.5. To reactivate them, set the value of the following entries in the configuration file to 1. use_old_functionality_for_machining_data = 1 use_old_functionality_for_feeds_speeds = 1 When no data is found after a query, the user can analyze which parameters were passed to the system by using the report option. report_level = 1 You can find the mrl_feeds_speeds_config.txt in \resource_management\MRL\nxlib\MACH\resource\library\feeds_speeds\inclass.
