Assembly jargon
Assembly jargon
(OP)
I am a frequent user of Inventor, maybe thats why I find CATIA assembly a little more tough to handle. I have curved surface(section of a wing) and it houses a machined part which also follows the mold line. What is the best possible constraint situation i should follow. I did try using coincident as it don't even let me use the contact constraint. HELP!!!!!!!





RE: Assembly jargon
So, define the datums first, and then relate them back to STA, WL, and BL values. (or whatever reference they use where you work) That means you are going to have to constrain datum (target) points to reference planes, most likely.
There's no constraint available (that I know of) to seek out a matched countour. Even if there was, it doesn't make sense to stick it into a 3D model without logically building a reference system...

well lemme give you the flow of work.
1. Created the sweep with loft data (Using CATIA)
