Does Catia have the ability to calculate / Measure fluid volume in an assembly?
A have a hydraulic cylinder assembly that I would like to measure the fuid volume.

RE: Volume Calculation / measurement
Not a 1 button option. You could set this volume up as a parameter in your catalog items. This will become a column in your BOM.

RE: Volume Calculation / measurement
We are designing landing gears and we have the same issues, due to the complexity of the internal parts. To measure the volume, I create a simple cylinder part (big enough to cover all parts) which represent the oil volume and I assemble into the top level. Then, in assembly mode, I copy all the parts from the assebly into my oil volume as different bosies and I do a substraction operation. I will end with my oil volume.
Good luck
