SHOPNEST (Intergraph Shop Floor Nesting Option)

The SHOPNEST package provides both interactive and automatic arrangement of parts on plate and sheet materials. Interactive nesting allows the user to dynamically arrange parts on a sheet of material using typical graphic manipulation functions such as Move, Rotate, Drag, etc. Automatic nesting allows the user to identify the quantity of each part to be nested, along with the nesting constraints for each part. The automatic nesting function then looks at all the parts and their constraints, and arranges them in an efficient manner on the material. The nested parts are compatible with Intergraph NC products for subsequent processing of the shapes.
