Does anyone know of a good CATIA V5 Analysis primer documentation or tutorial? I need to use the Generative Structual Analysis workbench to calculate the deflection under strain of my assembly. Thanks, Michael

Well ILB! It works! ... HUH! With as much as I tried, I'm surprised I hadn't tried that too... Also, the Automation Docs sure gave me the impression that .add wasn't going to do anything desireable. Thanks again for your help... Cheers,

Thanks for responding. Are you sure this doesn't create a new product and place it last in the selection? I will try it again but I don't want to put any products that aren't already in structure. Cheers,

I'm having trouble with the SetRealColor method with respect to my product. Largely, the problem is that my object is a product object and the method expects a selection object. How do I convert my product object into a selection object? In VBA, this would be trivial (Product1.Select) but in...

Solid7, I suppose that is true, but I really dislike using the sketch tools toolbar because even the slightest twitch of the mouse throws all my values off. It would be fine if I could acknowledge the input fields without clicking on the mouse... That whole click with the mouse without...

Solid7, Yes... Sorry, an arc, not an arch! I am using sketcher and the Part Design workbench. Kyeohti

Why does it seem so complicated to prescribe an arch angle for an arch? It's disappointing that an arch only has the same definition dialog as a circle. Usually I end up trimming the arch to a line somewhere, but I sure would rather prescribe an arch angle instead. Best Regards, Michael

Thank you for the reply Jackk. The tool sounds interesting, but somehow not very valuable after the acceptance of parametric design concepts. What I am hoping for is a tool that will morph a circular profile into a co-linear rectangular profile. In the past I have abutted circular and...

In the CATIA V5 Part Design Workbench, there is a small toolbar called "Advanced Extruded Features" with two tools on it by default. One is the stiffener tool and the other is labeled "Solid Combine". My experiments with the Solid Combine tool have only produced confusing results so far. Does...
