Check Manufacturability
Check the design for manufacturing and tooling limitations.
This feature enables you to check the manifold for:
- Angle holes
- Compound angle holes
- Non-standard drills
- Non-standard spot faces
- Drills with slenderness ratio more than a specified value
1. MDTools 965 > Design Check > Check Manufacturability
The Manufacturability and Tooling Check dialog box displays.
2. Select the parameters you want to check.
3. Enter the slenderness ratio.
The default slenderness ratio value is 25.
4. Click Start.
MDTools®
checks the manifold design for selected parameters, and lists the cavities
deviating from the rule in the dialog box.
All the cavities in the manifold are grayed out.
Displays Non-Standard Spot Face issue on single click
5. Select a row.
MDTools highlights the specified issues.
6. Double-click on row selection to zoom into the issues.
MDTools automatically zooms into the cavity.
7. Click
to highlight
the particular sections issues.
8. Click
to hide
the particular sections issues.
9. Click on the Clear Selection option to clear the highlighted issues.
10. Click
button
to view and print the report in a text file.
11. Click
button
to save the list.
The Save As dialog box displays.
12. Enter an appropriate file name.
13. Click Save.
Note:
If the drill diameter is not available in the Drill Tool database, then MDTools® considers the drill as a non-standard drill.
· If the drill depth is greater than the maximum tool depth in the database, then MDTools considers the drill as a non-standard drill.
· If only Step0 is present in the cavity, then Step0 is considered as drill, else, Step12 in the cavity is considered as drill.
· If drill diameter exists in tool library and drill depth is greater than the available drill depth for that diameter in tool library, then Maximum tool length in Non-Standard drill section shows the maximum tool length value.
· If the spot face diameter is not available in the Spot Face Tool database, then MDTools considers the spot face as a non-standard spot face.
· If the spot face depth is greater than the maximum spot face tool depth in the database, then MDTools considers the spot face as a non-standard spot face.
· Step0 of ports and cartridge valve cavities is considered as Spot Face.
· If Spot face diameter exists in the tool library and Spot face depth is greater than the available spot face depth for that diameter in tool library, then Maximum tool length in Non-Standard spot Face section shows that maximum tool length value.
