PMI - Is there Zeiss training?

We may be getting into using PMI (Model Based Definition).

Is anyone using this?

Is there a STEP AP242 model available for training?

Hi Richard,

There is a PMI eLearning available. 

Learning Content:

• Identify basic requirements needed to create a PMI measurement plan
• Create measurement plans using PMI in ZEISS CALYPSO.
• Apply dimensional, form and location tolerances on a PMI program

I believe I was able to play around with PMI on the Zeiss Cad Cube model if you have that.

The biggest problems I have with MBD is that you're relying on someone else to put the correct callouts on the model and you usually have to modify any auto-created feature strategies anyway. But then it's been a while since I've looked back into the technology.

No STEP242 version available, but you can use the cadcube_PMI-named.sat file.

First draw back I see that you can't rename the PMI entities prior to creation.

Zeiss should add a dialog box to enter the characteristic name prior to creating the characteristic.

The pmiData.pmi file appears to be an xml file.

I can edit the PMI file and rename characteristic names, not sure of the effect on tolerances and related features/characteristics yet.

Don't mind my ramblings, I am searching for methods of characteristic creation that follows my characteristic naming scheme.
