Machinist dynamics models may be used to predict milling performance and select optimal parameters at the computer numerical control (CNC) path planning stage. The intent is to select parameters that enable first part correct performance and avoid trial-and-error parameter identification. This requires that chatter, or self-excited vibration, does not occur, and that acceptable accuracy and surface finish are achieved. This session will demonstrate dynamic force prediction for Autodesk Fusion toolpaths, which incorporates the tool tip vibration response to predict the dynamic cutting force and tool vibration and the effect of relative vibration between the cutting tool and workpiece on the milling stability. This enables us to identify and correct locations where chatter occurs before part production. It introduces a feed rate optimization capability that modifies cutting times by updating the feed rate. And it has been shown to reduce cycle times by up to 50%. We’ll select an aerospace part and show results.

While generative design offers innovative, organic forms, its realization has largely been limited to prototyping via additive manufacturing.

It all began with a simple Dynamo script displaying a popup window to users with some useful information about the document. As the script development advanced, we transitioned to a Revit macro. The tool grew and even more features were added to assist users in managing their model's quality. Eventually, our team reached a point where the macro wasn't practical enough. That's when we created an installable C# add-in, turning the former model health check into a comprehensive wizard with an Autosolve function. Now, many common errors are automatically resolved when Revit starts or syncs, leaving only more complex issues for users to review. Dedicated windows within the tool have been designed to help users evaluate logical errors, such as area analysis. The wizards toolkit is complemented by a robust automatic classification function. This course guides you through our development journey, unveiling the wizard button's magical potential and the insights gained along the way.
