Hello Folks,
I have received a small aircraft assembly which has all the major structural items (Skins, Ribs, Spars, Brackets etc.) expect for fasteners. However, all parts do contain holes where fasteners are supposed to go. I also know which fastener to use...So I need to populate the assembly with fasteners on my end. The issue is that the fastener count is in low thousands which means that I could spend quite some time in populating alone based on my current knowledge.
I think there is an option in Catia V5 where one can speed up processes like above using "Reuse Pattern" command but I believe the command needs an existing pattern contained in a part.
Seeking help in getting pointers on a couple of questions:
1. Is there an alternate rapid method to populate an assembly in Catia V5?
2. Regarding "Reuse Pattern" method: My plan is to create a dummy part just for creating Fastener patterns. Again question is there any rapid way with in either GSD or Part Workbench to create fastener hole center points from hundreds of existing holes, lets say with in a sketch?
Any help would be appreciated.
