    Creating A User Defined Material

    Thanks. That's so easy but searching on user companion gives way too many results. Greg

    Planar Area of a Part

    I have a complicated part and am wondering if there is any way I can create a plane and calculate the area of the solid on that plane. Thanks

    Creating A User Defined Material

    I am trying to create a user defined material. I have user companion but my searches came up with useless things. How do I create a user defined material? Greg

    Drawing a Polygon in CATIA

    A problem exists in creating equidistant points. What Catia does is calculates the distances the points should be away from each other, not an updatable thing. So if the size of the circle changes the points remain the same distance apart from each other and become warped polygons. Weird...

    orthotropic material

    Have you ever got the orthotropic properties to work? I tried to do this before but an error popped up.

    Boolean Operations, removing using a modified part

    I have 3 Parts: A, B, and C. I am first doing a boolean operation where I remove A from B, leaving me a modified B. Then I want do a boolean operation removing from C the modified B part. First, is this even possible in Catia V5R13? When I create the assembly with C and the modified B, a...

    How to put a file of points into CATIA from a file

    I think I need to talk to our networking guys. Today it is working (as far as plotting points), but just like you said, I can't make a spline. It goes through all the points though and doesn't come up with the error until it gets to "EndCurve" and then the error comes. In Catia it has all the...

    V5R12 - Sketcher

    When I have that problem I often just rotate my view in the sketcher so I can get a feel for what is actually in the plane. But you're right, when it gets confusing you don't want to go around hiding all the objects. Hope rotating your view will help. Greg

    How to put a file of points into CATIA from a file

    Thanks for all your help, but I am stil having problems. At one point I could get all the points to plot (Option 1), but did not get a spline to form (Option 2). I started all over and now when I try to run the macro in excel (I have Catia running with a current .CATPart file), no matter which...

    How to put a file of points into CATIA from a file

    I did as you said and got the GSD_ElementsFromExcel.xls file, but what I ran the Feuil.Main Macro, choosing option 3, it kept reading beyond the "End" and the computer thought for a while. It stopped after a couple minutes and a message came up from Visual Basic saying "Overflow" and apparently...

    How to put a file of points into CATIA from a file

    I am attempting the same thing (inputting points into Catia v5r13 from an excel file). I searched for pointsplineloft and that turned up no results. I want to use the points to make a spline, so anyone have a more detailed way of doing this? greg

    V5 FEA- calc. failure load

    On the Structural Analysis in V5R11 I know how to apply a load and see the stresses. Is there a way to just define the place and type of load and allow Catia to calculate the max load until failure?
