Setting Up Associative IPW for CAM Assist in Siemens NX

Join us in this tutorial with Sahand Malek where he demonstrates how to program multiple setups (OP1 and OP2) in Siemens NX and CAM Assist when working with separate files:

✔️ Soft Jaw Designer:
- Sahand uses Soft Jaw Designer to create jaws for OP2 before using CAM Assist

✔️ Workpiece Setup:
- Selecting the part, bounding block as stock, and jaws/vice
- Using IPW (In-Process Workpiece) workflow to link two separate files.
- Learn how to create associative IPW blank between setup files.
- Connecting the first and second operation files

✔️CAM Assist Programming:
- Opening CAM Assist with multi-file support
- Recognizing both setup files automatically
- Using the default tool settings and face milling operation
- Programming both OP1 and OP2 simultaneously

NX CAM 2212, 2306, 2312, 2406.
The key of this demonstration is how to program multiple operations across separate files in Siemens NX, using the IPW workflow to link the files. This allows CAM Assist to generate machining programs for both setups at once, and compensate for rest machining.

Hey, can you share the results? The tool path generated and simulation to verify the outcome of the cam assist
