    save parts of an assembly internally

    thank you for your response Sir, but thats not what i aim for... My intent is to preserve assembly and its parts structure inside, but have everything as a single file outside CATIA ...in Solidworks there was a "save assembly internally" functionality, assuming that CATIA is from the same...

    save parts of an assembly internally

    Hello dear colleagues Is there a way to save a CATIA - native assembly, which contains all the parts into the *.cadproduct file ? For an example i have an *.cadproduct which has three parts inside. In windows explorer i see 4 files (3x *.cadpart and 1x *.cadproduct). Can I have just one file...

    dependency on import ?

    Dear colleagues I am importing a *.cgr , *.cadpart and *.cadproduct (not simultaneously, rather in three different sessions) by File -> Open (for the catia ones i have the Interface and Collaboration licenses obtained). Goal is to save the geometry contained in the former three in an...

    view sectioning in 3D part / assembly

    Dear colleagues, Do you know if it is possible in CATIA to create a sectioning view in 3d modelling part / assembly environment, which is not "plane - based" ? In other words: is it possible to create a section view with a sphere or a given surface or volume as a sectioning tool ? thanks in...

    CREO 9 default configuration

    Hello dear colleagues does anyone knows where lies the default configuration file (the one which loads into each session by default) ? ...my goal is to setup some settings which load "by default" (without anytime load them explicitly) everytime i start the program thanks in advance and...

    Accelerator / shrotcut assignation impossible

    Hello coleagues I am trying to assign F5 button as "define in work object" , when select a given object on the tree, but when I go tools -> customize -> commands the "accelerator" field is gray hence it does not allow me to assign the shortcut... Can i change that somehow ? why some commands...

    a basic question about bushings in VIEW

    Hello Colleagues I am trying to define rubber mounts of bearing beds and I represent them with bushing force. My question is regarding bushing settings and more importantly damping and viscous-damping coefficients. Are they expressed in N s/m or they are measureless value ? What is a typical...

    Learning resources / knowledge database

    thanks so much for the responses ! Yes, I have covered the basic VIEW tutorials and some of the concepts behind CAR are kinda clear to me. I will go through the materials, presented by newbie_user ! Props once again! Any more are welcome ! kind regards

    Learning resources / knowledge database

    Hello dear colleagues I am trying to learn the foundations and to build templates in order to simulate a full vehicle behavior. Unfortunately, not so many learning recourses are available, even on Hexagon official website... Can you give me some idea where to find tutorials, lessons or / and...

    PDF import in drawings

    Hello! Does anyone know why when importing a PDF vector drawing in catia (insert -> object), in the viewport it looses its "vectorness", hence it behaves more like raster image - small text unreadable when zoom in etc... thanx in advance

    sweep cut using a solid as a profile

    Hello Fredo Yes, i did that before i come to this forum. Unfortunately none of the tutorials explains how to do exactly what i need - if you pay attention to the picture up it is a sweep of a solid profile (which holds in account tool radius and tool shape). This is impossible with simple sweep...

    sweep cut using a solid as a profile

    10x for reply LucasC but the shown is not exactly what i am tryng to achieve as modeling a milling tool travelling on a 3d trajectory, the 2d shape follows the turning radius and the resultant cut is not just one swept profile. Note how in SW we sweep a conic-cylinder body (the cutting tool)...

    sweep cut using a solid as a profile

    Hello colleagues Old question, which im still struggling with: i want to sweep a solid body along a 3d path, resembling 2axis machine cutting tool trajectory. In solidworks they have it https://www.javelin-tech.com/blog/2017/04/solidworks-cut-sweep-body/ how can one do that in Catia ...

    lame quesion about kinematic couplings

    Hello colleagues On a part I have a different load scenarios, they involve different node sets, which overlap in some cases. I have defined refrence nodes and used kinematic couplings to connect to those node sets. The problem is at one sceniario i put load on a refrence node but the unloaded...
