RE: solid rivits
No, we are inserting 3D dittos, exactly like in v4, made from surfaces (its same library...).
You are thinking at k factor for the sheet metal parts? For this, you have to look in standards...

RE: solid rivits
I'm doing paper to cad or an old ww1 airplane. I don't use Catia on daily basis (I use Keycreator), but I know enough to complete this project.
My question is this;
I have a few sheet metal parts that are joined with rivets. Those parts differ in thickness from part to part. So I was not sure how it is done in the industry, Is the rivet inserted into the assembly and do you have different rivet files for different sheet metal thickness? Obviously there is going to be a different distance between the mushroom and the head.....or is it done some other way....
Hope that explains it.
I'm a Mold designer, not an aircraft eng. :)

Just few threads about the rivets (generally speaking):

In my company, if you have to use rivets in an assembly, you have to put same type of rivet in a CATPart inserted in that assy. If you have few types, you will have corresponding number of CATParts.
