Hi,
I am trying to model a roller chain.
Like a bike chain
They are in a complete circle.
How do I array the links to get the exact diameter.?
I have tried calculating the pcd from the 152mm pitch
I have tried calculating the radius from the pitch x number of links, the smallest error is thrown...
Hi,
Is it possible to add a paint and it's thickness/weight/sq-metre to selected faces of a structure.
The weight of a 3-coat paint is going to have a significant effect on a structure's centre of gravity.
thanks

OK,
I am inserting an unequal angle into a weldment.
Using a standard library weldment within Solidworks.
The angle is always orientated in a default direction.
I want it inserting opposite handed to this direction.
This isn't solved by rotation, or moving the location point.
The part profile...
Hi,
Can't figure this one myself.
I am using unequal angles in a weldment.
The problem is, some angles won't rotate to the correct orientation
How does one do this.?
thanks

Hi all,
Has anyone found a downloadable course book on Airbus Functions and Methods.?
I will book a course soon, but like to have a firm grip of things before I walk in the door.
Thanks

Hi,
Is there anywhere where one can download freeware macros.?
Specifically I am looking for a macro which would copy a CATPart complete with history and sets into another model.
cheers
HM
Thanks, that gives me a section normal to the view.
I need a true section normal to the extrusion,
which at no point is normal to any of the views.!
:-(
Hi all,
I have an extruded component which twists in 3 planes.
A solid swept on a curve on a compound surface (door glass).
How do I make a true section of this part at a specific point in a 2D drawing.? I don't have a view which in normal to the section plane I want to cut on.
In Catia 4 I...
Hi,
I am keen to learn macro writing.
I have done some C and C++ and Autodesk lisp in the past.
What I can't find is a good book or examples as a starting point.
Has anyone suggestions of books/links to get me off the ground.?
thnks

It looks like I will have to do Airbus acrreditation training, even though I have been using v5 for 2 years self-taught.
Does anyone know what the course entails/covers.?
A pointer to good web pages would be appreciated.
thx
I agree with you on all points, I , personally am a big fan of V5.
However, I have to work to the ability of the lowest common denominator in my client's office. The 15 years on V4 dinosaur who doesn't want the bother of new 'gadgets'.
I can produce wonderous time saving trees and links and...
This was my conclusion
I have had to mirror everything with Surface Design.
Create new Sketches from the wireframes produced.
Then Re-Create the solid tree.
My client isn't a happy bunny.
Catia 4 ---30 seconds work.
Catia 5 ---2 DAYS.!
Hi,
In Catia 5
How does one mirror a solid , along with it's associated skethes and sketch planes etc.?
You can do it in Catia 4...........easy.
