Why do you need a parallelism tolerance at all? Is there really a functional requirement in the assembly for these two surfaces to be tightly controlled for parallelism? Typically on thin sheet metal the default profile tolerance is acceptable because the part is flexible and will mate with...
I've only been designing aircraft parts for 20 years, and I don't think I've ever specified the rivet length on a drawing or in a 3D MBD part/assy. We just specify the diameter and the location of installation. Then they install the rivet per the company's installation specification, which...
I discovered in 3D Product Architect I can right click and "Open With" the Engineering Release module and it will give me a BOM in a window with proper part counts for each component. But unfortunately, it doesn't tell me what level the components are on. So, I can't tell if something is a...
"Is it possible to somehow do this with one solid?"
If you have a lot of bodies and want to automatically merge them into a single part body in assembly design, then you go to: "Tools | Generate CATPart from Product" and select the box to merge the bodies, then click OK.
Not sure what you...
There is an option in "Generate CATPart from Product" that will allow you to merge all the part bodies in the product into a single part body within the CATPart if that's what you prefer to do...
When I use spreadsheet option in Product Modification tab, I get a single line for every component. Instead I want the BOM with part counts of each different part. Instead of a 2000-line spreadsheet listing all the fasteners one by one for each instance, I want CATIA to spit out the quantity of...
In CATIA V5 in Asssembly Design you could go to Analyze | Bill-of-Material to view and then export a BOM into Excel (or txt file I think).
I cannot figure out how to do this in Catia V6 or the integrated 3DX Catia version 2023.
Can someone provide help?
