Operator (for creation) |
In a 'Processes' document, this command defines the operations to be carried out in the process.
Creation stages / Use:
Click the icon or select the Tools > Operator... command from the drop-down list or the contextual menu on the shape.
Select the part or the shape of the document containing operations. (pockets, drillings, ...)
Check or uncheck in the drop-down list the operations to use or not during the future use of the process.
Validate by clicking 
.

Only the following operations can be used with a process:
|
|
|
Through operations (drilling, pocket, boss and trim) selected as operator will not be used to detect parts to operate. In this case TopSolid will use the martyr shape to detect parts to operate. |
|
Detection options:
For: Select in the drop-down list an operation. You will define options below for this operation.
|
|
These options are to be defined for each operation of the process. |
Collisions: Automatic. This option allows to automatically detect martyred parts (those receiving the operation).
If the Shape option is checked, shapes must be selected manually. Then, it is possible to define conditions.
The condition will be done if the shape is touch or not (regarding your choice).
The condition can be completed by selecting another shape and using and/or.
- And: both conditions have to be true to be applied.
- Or: at least one condition has to be true to be applied.
Part: When a part is placed on another, TopSolid does not detect a collision. By unchecking this option, it will also be possible to manage this case like, for example, a plate with drilling processes, which is placed on another plate about to receive a drilling operation.
When the option is checked, TopSolid also tests the collision between the item of detection of the operation, the part to be operated and the part which has the processes.
Part(s) to operate: (only for drilling operations). Select the rule in the drop-down list:
Only last, the operation will only operate the farthest part regarding the operation frame like for example the tapping when inserting a screw.
Only first, the operation will only operate the nearest part regarding the operation frame like for example the clearance hole when inserting a screw.
Only intermediates, the operation will operate all concerned parts except the nearest and the farthest regarding the operation frame.
All: the operation will operate all concerned parts.
All but last, the operation will operate all concerned parts except the farthest regarding the operation frame like for example when you include a screw to fix several parts, the drilling is done on each part except the last one which has a tapping.
All but first, the operation will operate all concerned parts except the nearest part regarding the operation frame.
All but intermediates, the operation will only operate the nearest and the farthest part regarding the operation frame.
Radius: When a shaft with a smaller diameter than the hole where it is included, there is no collision. By entering a radius higher than the radius of the hole, TopSolid simulates a biggest shaft and a collision is detected.
