NX Displaying the Expanded Time Fields in the Operation Navigator

A good number of time columns are available in the Operation Navigator. What do these variables mean and how are they populated?

When an NX Simulation Machine Kit is created the Dynamic Properties for each axis of the actual NC machine are entered. These properties help to determine a much more accurate report of the speed that the machine runs. 

A Simulation Machine Kit, therefore, needs to be loaded for these to be in effect. After the machine kit is loaded and the operations generated NC_PROGRAM -> MB3 -> Calculate Machining Times is selected. Notice that the top node NC_PROGRAM is selected.

This causes the time columns to be populated.

NX can report these when running the Setup Instructions utility.
