    Hi everybody, I have a question

    Thanks a lot weavedreamer, but this option is unable. Should I first create a volume or body or something. The set of surfaces was created in wireframe and surface design. The thing I did was to heal all the surfaces into one, and then close it, but I failed (CATIA says "an opening in the...

    Hi everybody, I have a question

    Hi everybody, I have a question I've been working on these days, and honestly, as I am a newbie in CATIA I cannot solve it. Here's the deal. I have a bunch of surfaces which define a closed volume, although actually no volume is defined in CATIA. What I want is to create a copy of these...

    Deleting vertices and splines or exporting just surfaces

    Thanks a lot NCluser, you r right, it works!! but one more question. is there any way to give a name to the surfaces in order lately, in the importation in the other software, to have these names?

    Deleting vertices and splines or exporting just surfaces

    Hi everybody, I am working with Wireframe & Surface Design, and I have a doubt about exporting my geometry. I created some points which were used to create some splines, and these to get some surfaces. Then I export my resulting geometry (I don't want a body, just these surfaces), but the...

    Split spline macro

    I update my posts. I already fixed the problem. It was absolutely a stupid task. Actually it has to be first the element to be cut, and then the cutting element, so Set mySplit = PtPart.HybridShapeFactory.AddNewHybridSplit(Point3,Spline,1) However, I couldn't manage to split the spline with...

    Split spline macro

    I've gone ever to the simplest case, like one line splitted by a point, but it stills gives an error "The method update failed". Actually it fails and the macro works but the splitting operation. Any idea of why does it happen?? Language="VBSCRIPT" Sub CATMain() Dim CATIA As Object Dim...

    Split spline macro

    Hi everybody, I'm working with CATIA since not a long time, and I'm still a little lost, moreover on CATIA automation...The problem is that I want to split a spline (BottomSpline) using a point (ConnectionPoint(6)), and write it in a macro. Here is my code: Dim Split1 As Split Dim...

    Creating surfaces...

    Finally the second problem appears when building the surface close to the peak. In this case I used Sweep tool. I chose the curve of the symmetry plane (xz) of the train as section, and the other two curves as guides. As you can see it resulted in a gap between the two built surfaces. Although...

    Creating surfaces...

    The first problem arise when I try to build a surface between the two yz curves. I used Multi-Section Surface, considering these two sections, and chosing as guides those curves which link both profiles. It works fine, although the result isn't totally satisfactory. As you can see in the...

    Creating surfaces...

    Hi everybody, I'm working on building my train model, and although it is a long time since I started with this project, honestly I'm a little? stuck. As you can see in the picture I created a bunch of points which let me describe the curves used to build the surfaces and volume of the nose of...

    Gaps between surfaces

    Thanks Azrael! I'll try your tricks, and I'll let you know...

    Gaps between surfaces

    Hi everybody! I've being working with Surface Design in order to build up my train model, and I got pretty good results. However, there is something which is driving me crazy! The point is that the volume is defined by four surfaces (actually there are more, but let's say the shell is just...

    spline through all the points...

    Great! it works! but does it mean that the curve was previously fine but it wasn't displayed so well? or that I changed the accuracy to get a less restrictive curve?

    spline through all the points...

    Hi everybody! One more question... I'm trying to get a spline through some points. However, as you can see in the attached picture, when I select these six points the result is not a curve passing through all of them...then, when defining a spline, does the points one chooses mean the curve...

    Array of points. Connection points between curves

    Hi everybody, I'm still working on my CATIA script to create a body from some points coordinates I have in an Excel file. I found great information about scripts to perform this task, so it is going pretty well. However I still have a problem. Here is the deal. I have curves which share some...

    CATIA: importing data with excel macro (problem)

    Hi george27! did you fix your problem. I also have the same problem, with this message telling "Object does not support this property or method". The point is that when I try to import a point from the Excel file it is fine, but when I try to create a spline or a surface from them I cannot. I...

    Just a simple macro. Error running in batch mode

    Sorry, the End Function of GetCATIAPartDocument() is missing. However, in line 16, it gives the message: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'CATIA' Why?

    Just a simple macro. Error running in batch mode

    Hi everybody, I'm just starting working with CATIA macros, and I wrote my first CATScript. Just a simple one to open CATIA and to create a new part document and activate it. Please, see below the code. The problem is when I try to run it I get two errors. The first one, when I write in the...

    Define a volume body from point coordinates

    Hi Ferdo, I managed to get the geometry. The problem is that now I have to do it 100 times, since we have different geometries of trains. I already found a file in Excel which let you create the points and curves, but I guess I should do it manually one by one. THen the solution is obviously...
