    Frame analysis GPS/GAS workbench with different cross sections

    Hello everybody! In Catia V5 GPS/GAS workbench is it possible to evaluate a frame structure with a different cross sections/type using 1D beams? I didn´t get it. It always give me a error on singularity detect (which I believe it relates to non coincident/non connect elements). Regards, Sparck

    Compass movement limitation

    Hello everyone, In a assembly mode, I need to move a lot of instances for a new position. I realized that compass could move up to 50 instance at time (plus than 50 instances, compass will gray out). Is this a software limitation or bug? Is there anyway to bypass this limitation? Regards Richard

    If you have 4 sections, you can try to do a multi-sections between 2 sections, then do it a multi-sections between the other 2 sections (like two oposite quarters), then make multi-sections in the gaps using 2 sections and surfaces (the first and second ones)like tangent supports. I hope that...
