PMI and downstream usage

PMI and downstream usage

PMI and downstream usage

(OP)
I have read many threads on MBD/PMI in forum , but unable to find any definitive examples/answers.Have few questions on PMI & Downstream usage,especially NX PMI.How much PMI annotations really used in downstream applications automatically??

Does any one used Link to PMI option in NX Inspection module? how many dimensions/GD&T linked automatically after running this command? Does the tool automatically links all the tolerances/dimensions mentioned in help files?

If we make sure PMI annotations link automatically through NX Inspection and create program will it compatible with other CMM software's?

Is PMI used in CAM programs automatically? in which other downstream applications PMI can be used?


Another question,not directly related to PMI, how complex parts with only model is given without most of dimensions get inspected [We have few critical dimension shown in drawing,for remaining model is master.]

RE: PMI and downstream usage

Hi,
Yes we have some usage of PMI in manufacturing. Although i do not have a CAM background but i have seen my colleague utilizing CAM for downstream process (CMM and if i am not wrong then it is used for FEATURE BASED MACHINING also).
Sorry as i said i have a meager CAM exposure so will get in touch with some expert /validate the same and let you know.

And yes PMI also have usage in GD&T for tolerance stackup analysis surely.

Regards
Kapil
