    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...

    strange error in topology optimization

    Sir, can i find you on Linkedin to connect and give endoursement there for the effords ?

    strange error in topology optimization

    yes Sir, that was my goal ...i realised it works fine if i use different steps, but having the loads from a single step as load cases is more computational friendly, i guess... anyway, thanks for the effort

    strange error in topology optimization

    Hello colleagues I have setup a topo opt with stress level for a constrain (attached the *.cae) analisys goes well , but the optimization run fails with a strange error YOU ARE MIXING OP=NEW AND OP=MOD FOR *CLOAD why this happens, since i have turned off the BC propagation option thanks...

    Simple question about optimization

    Hello dear colleagues Can you explain me simply the meaning of ISO surface (mat prop normalised) into topology optimization results... In a strain energy minimalization optimization i have setup a 0.5 of the volume to be used, but tweaking the isosurface varies it between 0 to 100 % How can i...
