Interface ICamApiMcdChannel

Execution channel of the simulator. A channel groups operations that run on the same kinematic stream (e.g. one turret of a multi-turret machine). On single-channel machines there is exactly one channel with Index = 0 holding every operation in the project.

Namespace: CAMAPI.Simulator

Assembly: CAMAPI.Simulator.dll

[InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
public interface ICamApiMcdChannel

Properties

CurrentMcdNode

MCD node currently being processed by the simulator in this channel. Setting it moves the simulation cursor to the given node and redraws the scene.

Declaration

ICamApiMcdNode CurrentMcdNode { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ICamApiMcdNode

CurrentOperation

Operation currently being processed by the simulator in this channel. Setting it activates the given operation (the simulator redraws the scene).

Declaration

ICamApiTechOperation CurrentOperation { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ICamApiTechOperation

Index

Zero-based index of the channel in the simulator.

Declaration

int Index { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int

MachineEvaluator

Live machine evaluator at the current simulation cursor of this channel. Read the current tool control-point position in the workpiece (geometric) coordinate system via GetAbsoluteMatrix, and in the world coordinate system (WCS) via GetCurrentWorkpieceCSWorldMatrix. Reflects the state of the last simulated frame — read it on a paused or stepped cursor, not while simulation is actively running. Note: the mutating methods of the evaluator (SetNextPos, CalcNextPos*, TCPMEnabled) act on the live simulation machine state; use with care.

Declaration

ICamApiMachineEvaluator MachineEvaluator { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ICamApiMachineEvaluator
