Computer Applications  
     The following are a number of Computer Applications that may be accessed at several MT-AMRI University server locations to provide support to Manufacturing Classroom activities :

• EMSIM  :       End Milling Simulation : Prediction of cutting forces, Surface roughness, Material Removal Rates, Forces , cutter defections and part surface error.

• FMSIM  :        Face milling process simulation.

• DRSIM  :         Drilling Process Simulation.

• FIXMA :         Fixture Design and Analysis : Performs rigid body analyses ( kinematic restraint, total contraint);Linked to EMSIM to provide machining forces for the actuator/clamping force analysis.

• CFEST  :         Cutting Fluid Selection and Evaluation for Environmental  Impact ; CFEST is capable of evaluating cutting fluid performance in turning, cylinder boring, and tapping . It evaluates cutting fluid procurement maintainence , and disposal costs , and health hazards associated with a particular cutting fluid usage .

• Cybercut :       Web based Machining Process Design and Rapid Prototyping .

• StepView :       Step-Based CAD Interface and part viewer for CAD-based Information Sharing ; Provides for creation of step files and their 3-D representation in both solid and wire frame formats ; Feature selection and importations of  intro machining simulation and fixture design applications.

• VMT :               Virtual Machine tool Testbeds taht provide a range of demostrations and analyses related to machine tool structures and systems ; e.g. , SPAEA (Stewart Platform Autamated Error Analysis).
