Begginer question about catia version 2

[kaelgabriel]

Hi there,

I was watching a tutorial in youtube and I have realized that my "extrude" options are different from the one on the video.

What can I do to be able to choose the type of limits that I input in the "extrude window"?

Thanks.

Looks like you're missing a particular workbench/license.

Which license are you running currently? Goto Tools/Options/General/Licensing to check. Also, check the Shareable Products tab.

Maybe you only have the Wireframe workbench and you might need GSD (Generative Shape Design) to get those extra options. Just a guess.

Thanks for the answers, my friends.

Peterkim89 - there is a lot of licenses, which one should I be looking for?

drewmaw - I'm already in GSD, format. If you can see the photo that I've attached, you can see what I mean.

I want to extrude that profile to hit the both surfaces of the wing so I can create the spar.

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure which licenses can achieve this or not. My job only requires me to explore a few ones. Our most basic license is "CAC+MCE", which provides us with "limits" and "up-to-element" features that you are looking for.

Which license are you currently on?

By the looks of it, you are using a lesser license enablement (GS1) for the Generative Shape Design workbench. This generally will limit the available functionality for a number of different functions within this workbench.

For the looks of it I have v5R14 WITH GSD 2

maybe R14 is the problem.... update to R24 or R25

V5R14...really? Why aren't you on a newer release? Does a customer require R14? Are you using an illegal (cracked) version of CATIA?

drewmumaw - It is in a PC here in my University in Brazil. I tried to perform a structural analysis, but I'm stuck in the 3d drawining part. I'm used with ANSYS.

I saw that there is a student version for 115 USD. This price is ok? Should I download an illegal version and then delete it?

Thanks.

Hi,

This is the problem. For any kind of license, if you not pay the RLC (maintenance) you are stuck in what you paid last time... I know companies which are stuck in r16 because they cut the RLC..

Coming to your problem, it seems you have Win7 ? Then Eric is right, do an upgrade. Or, if you are student, better pay that small amount comparing with the full price and get an official educational license.

Never use illegal software. Period.

Ok. I understand. You're on a student version with your university.

If you are a university student you can almost always get a discount (if not completely free) on software. Yes, Dassault sells a student version. I was a university student in 2010 and it was about $100 USD. That's a great price! And it's a great opportunity to learn CATIA since most students can't get experience with it.

Remember, you won't be able to share CATPart, CATProduct, CATDrawing files created in a student version with users at companies who have a regular license of CATIA. Dassault restricts this to prevent companies from farming out work to students who use CATIA for educational purposes.

Go to Tools > Options > Licensing tab and please tell what product you are using.

Now, back to your original question. Maybe the option for extruding to an element isn't available because you selected a vertex as the input (according to your screen grab). Try selecting a different input (or no input at all) and see if those "up to element" options are available.
