Expansions – everywhere you look: Tebis Version 3.5 R4 We took our time and put a lot into Tebis Version 3.5 Release 4. An improved layer representation in the structure tree, the magnificent revised TOP REMOVE function for splitting topologies, a material removal simulation in milling, drilling, and laser machining in real time, the Tebis gun drilling process enhanced to be extremely time-saving, the new setup of several identical or different components at the machine, and the new JT interface are just a few of the highlights. In addition, we have integrated all kinds of elegant innovations. Find out about the expansions in this summary; we think you will be excited just by reading about them!. Structure tree See at a glance whether a layer has subordinate layers and whether these contain elements. Thanks to the new symbols you will be able to recognize structures much faster. JT interface The new JT interface expands the spectrum of data that can be imported in Tebis. The import of this open data format which is proposed but not yet ISO standardized is now possible without work-arounds and loss of data. Splitting topologies We completely revised the TOP/REMOVE function. You can split topologies in the shortest time possible: simply drag selected objects from the topology and maintain the overview. Use colors or tangentiality to expand your selection, and, at the same time, lock it for flat or steep areas. You can use the same method to remove objects from your selection. Store your selected objects as a new topology. Regardless the size of the part, you can quickly split it for design or manufacturing. Closing cavities Filling holes or closing cavities – no problem with the new FILL function. Use neighboring surfaces to create fill surfaces for areas with four or more boundary curves. An analysis indicates in real time whether your selected strategy is suitable for these fill areas. And as a last resort, you can quickly add a few connecting curves. All of this within the same function. Deep-hole drilling features Create deep-hole drilling features: Select a blank, select features, and you are done. Features are extended, given a spot facing, a counterbore, or a pilot depth – everything happens automatically. Morpher Use the new deformation rule ROT (ROTatory deformation). With this function, you rotate the surfaces instead of shifting them, for example, when folding out a flange. Select the geometry to be deformed, specify the deformation target, check using the distance analysis, and you are done. There are just three steps to a deformation – and all of them without hassles. Overall tool set Are you used to programming several machining operations and the same number of tool sets? This is a thing of the past, because you can now specify a single tool set (TSET) for these machining operations. Just organize the machining operations in the TSET manager. Material removal simulation in real time Assess at any time the material removal of your milling, drilling, or 5-axis machining. Not only does this look very nice, but you can also execute variance comparisons for all scenarios. Multiple setup The programming and the planning of the setup at the machine are performed independently at two different workstation. Do you use grid plates, tombstones, or multi-changers or do you fully utilize your large machine table? Keep all possible scenarios under control. Even changes in the geometry at short notice are no problem anymore. RPLAN Collision avoidance Worry-free roughing with collision avoidance. The system takes the entire tool into account for the collision calculation and reduces the milling area to a point where collisions simply cannot occur. In all subsequent machining operations, the minimum residue areas are applied as a matter of course.
