    Simulation to MPEG

    I'm trying to turn my part simulation into a video that can be used in Power Point. Is there a way to do it? Ive tried screen capture programs, but they dont have enough resources to work smoothly when catia is simulating. Any sort of video file will do, MPEG, AVI - whatever. I need it for a...

    Simulate a Spring compressing

    Is there anyway to simulate a spring compressing in DMU Kinematics? I have the spring, which will be compressed by two flat plates - but I want Catia to simulate the compression of the spring on the screen. Is there a special Joint I use for that? Thanks James

    Hole in Thick Surface

    I now have a solid part with the correct holes - unfortunately the shell function just deletes almost everything. Also, I want to try and keep the part as a thick surface (its for a disseration and I need to demostrate an example of most of the tools that we were taught). If it comes to it...

    Hole in Thick Surface

    Thanks for your reply - I have tried the whole range of settings, Upto Next, Dimension, Upto Last - nothing is working! The model is the start of a Vehicle door and there are parts to go inside it - so it needs to be hollow.

    Hole in Thick Surface

    Sorry to be slow - but I havent been taught that far yet. I can see how to put the sketch into a different geo-set but I only get the choice of Set 1 and Partbody. How do I add Geo-set 2 to the list? Thanks

    Hole in Thick Surface

    Im editing the piece as a Catpart - so its the only object on the screen. I have already extended the dimensions of the hole to beyond the walls of the surface - still not working. Im using v13 - is there an issue with V13?

    Hole in Thick Surface

    I have a thick surface which follows the profile of a car door, and need to make a hole through it - but the hole command will not do it! The result appears OK in the tree, but does not show on the graphic. I have tried poclet aswell, but it does the same. I need the hole for an assembly...
