Hola -

We use CreoNC extensively - however, we use Vericut for simulation and never have built a machine model for use within Creo.

I’m attempting to do that now.

At no point have I been able to make the kinematic machine model appear in the Creo NC window. I’ve read the (thin) information available. I’ve asked Gemini. I then went to the Knowledge Base and downloaded the FADAL VMC file (close enough to the vertical mill I created) and I can’t get that to work either.

I am using Windchill - maybe that’s the issue since I don’t have the machine in the pro_mfg_workcell folder, though I did browse to where it is and it accepted the entry.

I also cannot find “Machine Play” anywhere, either in NC or ProProcess.

Licensing issue?

TIA

Hello,

The machine assembly must be placed in the directory defined by the PRO_MF_WORKCELL_DIR configuration.
In the Workcell, select the assembly.

Peter,
Take a look at this page where you can download machines ready for Machine Play, as well as instructions and rules for making your own machines:

Machine Play will only work if you have added it to the Workcell, and is in the same path of the MFG assembly, or in the path of PRO_MF_WORKCELL_DIR.
