Optionally, you can include a parameter table of type "ABQ_AM_MaterialRemoval_Bead_Orientation" in the table collection that you specify to deactivate elements in the step. You can define an arbitrary fixed bead orientation that is the components of vector z . This orientation vector overrides the stacking direction defined in "ABQ_AM_MaterialRemoval_Bead".

If a table of type "ABQ_AM_MaterialRemoval_5AxisStrategy" is present in the same table collection, you must define a time varying orientation vector in the event series defining the toolpath trajectory. The time varying orientation vector overrides the fixed orientation defined in "ABQ_AM_MaterialRemoval_Bead_Orientation".

Parameter Table Type Definition

PARAMETER TABLE TYPE, NAME="ABQ_AM_MaterialRemoval_Bead_Orientation", PARAMETERS=3
 FLOAT, , "X-Component of the Orientation Vector Z", , , 
 FLOAT, , "Y-Component of the Orientation Vector Z", , ,
 FLOAT, , "Z-Component of the Orientation Vector Z", , ,

Parameters

X-, Y-, and Z-Components of the Orientation Vector Z
Components are defined with respect to the global coordinate system. Vector z should not be parallel to the toolpath trajectory.
