How do you deal with a large assembly in CATIA?
Posted on 18:55 by Unknown
Here are a few notes on the best practices for dealing with a large assembly in CATIA V5 (although this information can also be applied to other CAD systems as well).
•Hide/Show •Temporarily hide model •Hide a partial model•Visualization mode •DMU Analysis•Creating Drawings•Node Deactivation•Update BOM•Update Assembly constraints•Unload•Design in context•Deactivate Component•Using knowledgeware

Robocoaster Model
Posted on 05:33 by Unknown
I constructed a recreation of a Kuka robocoaster in CATIA. I used the car from my cantilevered roller coaster simulations to save time. The track is created using three sketches with laws (one overhead, one side profile, and one for banking). I made this in about a day so please excuse the lack of detail. The purpose was more to show proof of concept that this was possible to create with CATIA.

What does a CAD Designer do?
Posted on 13:42 by Unknown
What does a typical CAD designer do? The responsibilities of a CAD Designer are the following:Design 3D models and assemblies in various CAD packages including CATIA V5, UG‐NX, SolidWorks, Pro/E orInventor from conceptual designs, reverse engineering layouts, or legacy data. Activities and duties:The following duties and responsibilities are illustrative of the primary functions of this position

Managing Large Assemblies in CATIA: Visualization Mode
Posted on 08:16 by Unknown
Using visualization mode in CATIA versus design mode improves performance by not loading the mathematical data of the part into memory, only a visual of the geometry is loaded into memory.The first time a part is loaded into CATIA using visualization mode:CATIA creates a "lighter" version of the model and saves it to the hard drive.Because it creates this light version the first time, it takes
