    Creating a formula for number of convolutions in a shaft?

    IS this not better done as "1" convolution which is patterned using "rectangular pattern" tool? where 2 or more convolutions is just a pattern of the original revolve?

    CATIA will not start

    Hi Slaen, Sounds like could be the environment file usually located in C:\ProgramData\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv by default. Perhaps its not referenced in the shortcut target or you have installed CATIA in a different directory?!

    DRAFT ANALYSIS COMMOND ERROR IN CATIA V5

    Hi, Go to CATIA Tools > Options > Display > Performance and enable OPENGL shader (or something like that).

    How to get Trace lines in exploded view..

    you cant do it automatically. The manual approach is a "work around"!

    Generative Structural Analysis

    delete the property, you can not delete the mesh itself.

    Join a Surface and fills

    Simplify results seems to only work in newer releases of CATIA. prior to something like R22, it never seemed to work. Which version of CATIA and release are you using?

    CATIA V5 FEA - Objective Error (%)

    Thanks for the reply guys. itsmyjob, thanks for the reply. I am aware of where and how to use it. I understand an error % of around 10% is a good target to aim for. However I am unsure what exactly it measures?! It can not just be a generic value, it must have some meaning. Is it maybe that...

    CATIA V5 FEA - Objective Error (%)

    Morning all, First Post here. My question is with regards to adaptive meshing in CATIA V5 Generative Structural Analysis workbench. When I create an adaptive mesh, I understand the objective error is essentially the measure of the strain energy in each element. I was wondering how exactly is...

    Normal View Orientation Problem

    Create a plane and then select the plane as the "parallel to" view.

    Problem on how to assembly 100 links of chain

    Why not user "reuse" in assembly design where you can use a userdefined pattern or a circular pattern to define position of each link?

    How do I create a hole coincident to a plane (CATIA V5)?

    Hi Loki3000, Sorry for the delayed response, define what you mean by "V5 Structure Editor"?! Either I have misunderstood or I am not familiar with this option. If you are purely talking about V5 to V6, majority of workbenches are essentially the same. Assembly constraints are completely...

    How do I create a hole coincident to a plane (CATIA V5)?

    Sorry to confuse you a bit more... but planes are infinite along two axis which are normal to each other. Therefore a plane does not have a center. You can either define the center as the part origin which may lay on the plane.. or you may want to project the point onto the plane. In short...
