CATIA User Information Page

NC G-POST is a comprehensive state-of-the-art software product that produces coordinate data and the associated "G" and "M" codes for CNC equipment. The user interface CIMpro employs JAVA technology for easy of use and operating system compliance. Optionally NC G-POST can be deployed through end user interfaces, providing the end user with the convenience of using their proprietary environmental architecture. The JAVA User Interface of the Option File Generator enables post-processor generation by using Windows disciplines for point and click, drag and drop to select machine options and constraints. As standard product offerings, NC G-POST will handle multi-axis machines and has ARC Fitting and NURBS interpolation. No additional prerequisite software is required so there are no hidden charges.

CATIA users can use NC G-POST with V4 and/or V5, and NC G-POST is available for most Unix and Windows platforms. Complete post processor vocabulary tables are supplied along with the CATIA APTSOURCE interface to make the installation fast and seamless.

Licenses can be acquired for Node Locked workstations or for server environments. If you already have a license for NC G-POST used with a different CAD/CAM type those already configured post processors will execute with your newly acquired NC G-POST license. If you have multiple CAD/CAM systems only one NC G-POST is required and separate CAD/CAM interfaces are available so one post processor solution will work for all of your different CAD/CAM systems.

Attention CATIA V5 Users!:

Using the PP (Post Processor) Table

Many of our Customers have requested assistance in setting up their CATIA V5 systems to generate the appropriate APT Source (CL) Data to use with the G-Post. CATIA V5 uses a PP Table file to determine the format that the APT Source Data is generated in. We have created a detailed document that will walk you through the required steps necessary to install and use the Austin N.C., Inc. (Intercim) PP Table. The information document along with the PPTable file have been compressed into a single ZIP file. Click here to download this file.

Launching G-Post

Some users would like to build a shortcut to launch G-Post from the CATIA manufacturing toolbar. This can be accomplished by adding a script into the Visual Basic Module and configuring a macro to execute it. A Template of this script and the instructions on utilizing it are contained in an information document. Using these scripts and macro menus are advanced functions and require some administrative knowledge of CATIA V5. To download this information document click here.

CATIA V5 Lathe (Turning) Mode:

Using the Lathe/Turning mode in CATIA V5 generates the APT-GOTO statements in machine coordinates (X Z) format. For the Lathe G-Post to work properly you will need to set the 3D-circle output option in CATIA's part operation panel to "on". Click here to see an image of this screen. You will also need to add the following line to your Lathe G-Post FIL file(s) in the MACHIN section. If you don't have a MACHIN section you can add this entire set of data to you FIL file(s). The "TRANS/..." command tells the G-Post that the input coordinates are in the (X Z) format.
