    Structures Terminology: Longeron vs. Stringer

    As far as my understanding goes, there is a subtle difference between the two and can be used interchangeably. Stringers run a shorter span than the longerons and are more in numbers in a structure. They usually support the longeron in the load carrying as well as distrbute it.

Instead of selecting the dimension individually and linking it to the parameters, is there any other option in catia where I...

    Bulkhead vs Frame

    Oh thanks guys for your response. I was of the opinion that they both will be different and used for different applications, because i was faced with this question from others also. wktaylor - the link u gave contains the boeing definition of frame and bulkhead, but that doesnt give much...

    Concept of Zero Line,Fundamental deviation & GD&T Notes

    pmarc, Hi got ur explanation. Making sense to me now. Just one more doubt - in all cases except "h" fit there will be fundamental deviation right? By the way is there any notes or pdf you are having for covering this subject of fits, tolerances and GD&T?

    Bulkhead vs Frame

    Hi guys, What is the basic difference between a bulkhead and a frame in aerospace applications? Is it really different or is the same thing called in different ways. Personally I was of the opinion that a frame used in fuselages will be called Bulhead whereas the ones used in other places are...

    Concept of Zero Line,Fundamental deviation & GD&T Notes

    Hi guys, I went through the concept of limits and fits. I was not able to understand two terms in the nomenclature which is "Zero line" and "Fundamental Deviation". What are these, after much probing i am still unable to get a fair idea of these. And in the deviation chart I saw that the "H" fit...

    Text doesnt get selected

    I have a drawing to edit in CATIA drafting workbench. One of the text is not getting selected at all. I thought it might have been written in the "Sheet background" but its uneditable in the sheet background also. I am unable to delete that, anyone having idea of what this problem is?
