The company I work for is combining file servers for two locations into one larger file server. The question I have is when they do this, they will rename our parent directories (ex Z:/catiav5parts/customer...) to some new drive and folder names. My guess, and that of others here, is when...

I had similar issues when first dealing with closing surface models. What I learned, and it took a few times to bang it in my head, is when you "JOIN" the surfaces, check the preview, it will place colored boundaries (in my case Green) around faces which have gaps to adjoining surfaces. In...

I agree with Azreal and jormah01, increse the gap value on the joim function. In most cases you will have to replace some surfaces which will not "close". The surfaces you create will be better than the ones imported from Alias. Brandon Jacobsen Product Design Engineer - Catia

I have not had this issue, but it should not make a difference if you are trying to read a .model in a V5 system on Windows or Unix. I have successfully done both. My guess it the .model file is corrupt, download the file again. Brandon Jacobsen Product Design Engineer - Catia

You may convert your V4 license to V5, just watch what disclaimers are on the quote. You can easily add a V5 license and keep your V4, but with the market swiftly shifting to V5, start converting. As far as a "Prize", I am unaware of Dassault having anything like this, but it would not...

Nylon should run just fine. The only area of concern would be if the nylon has fillers. I have had a tool run ABS, PC-ABS, ASA, Nylon, Acetyl, PP and Styrene, just to evaluate materials for a customers needs. Regards, Brandon Jacobsen Product Design Engineer - Catia

I both SCUBA dive and am on-call for underwater emergencies with the county rescue. In the last three years we have had two similar incidents, both were negligent drivers. Working in the automotive industry we try to protect circuitry like electric door locks, and window motors from shorting...

I read something, somewhere, and it worked, I am not taking credit for this, but it is cool. If you outside and inside (male/female)radii are equal in value (similar) you can drag your mouse across the sketch to highlight the lines, then select the radius function. All radii will then be your...

First, two different points of view. Outsource and Off-Shore. A point listed above by metengr states it best. But here is my opinion. Outsourcing allows a company to invest and focus on its product/service. You outsource to a company who specializes in a process and it can save you time and...

No doubt the Pro/E is a good system, many companies in my area use Pro/E, most (90%) are not automotive related. Now as for automotive, most tier 1's and OEM's have had many years working with the software mfg's to specialize software for content and functionality. And with intellectual...

I have experience in three different laser scanners, all of which had pro's and con's associated with them. It comes down to what you will use it for. It appears that you want to collect data for validation of tooling and reverse engineering from tools. IMHO use a laser digitizer, like a...
