Standard Part Catalogues for Catia V5? 1

[cjmcknight]

Anyone out there know where one can get or buy standard part catalogues for V5?
Prefer military/aerospace type standard hardware - but anything would do for a start.
Mainly looking for general purpose mechanical fastners and more aero specific type hardware.
I was sent a couple of links for european sites that look fairly decent but seemed focused on ISO and various european spec hardware. I am currently trying a search through industry sites and vendor links - limited success so far.
Any type of dumb volume or solid would work. Prefer not to have to go about this in Drafting. Product is aircraft structure that uses a lot of standard and custom fastners/pins etc.
Thanks for the help.

Chris,
Have you thought about using the built in standard parts library for catia(from V5 R8 includes US ANSI fasteners). To gain access to the standard parts you use the catalog browser (looks like a book icon usually on the lower tool bar). To change between the usual parts catalog that opens you select on the directory icon and then select the relevant parts catalog.
The catalogs are in the dassault systemes program directory under the resource directory

Other sources of standard parts libraries include CADalog (

http://www.cadalog.com),

PARTSpec (

http://www.CADRegister.com).

Both have the capability for direct insert into a variety of CAD packages including Catia.

Thanks Gary,
I will check out your posted sites.
The standard Catia catalogue is well enough but somewhat limited. In a jam we often use that for holding volumetric space - but I would like to see the correctly ID'd parts so that we can obtain a more realistic BOM from the Catia assmebly file.
Thanks again.
