Max & Min of Part
Max & Min of Part
(OP)
Hi,
We have modeled a component with tolerances.
By using the mean dimension the model get updated to the mean value.
Is it possible to update the model only for min and max dimension.
Do we need to purchase any new workbench for it?
If so, name of the workbench?
Thanks,
Par

RE: Max & Min of Part
I've looked for this ability in V5 and have yet to find it. It seems if you are placing dimesions and tolerances on the model using the FT&A workbench, those are only driven dimensions and they do not drive the model. I have not found a way, other than changing each dimension manually to it's max/min, of getting the software to generate an item at the max/min. It seems you cannot apply a tolerance to the driving dimension in a model.
I'm wondering if you were a former Pro/E user. Pro had the ability to do this in an assembly by using the "Dim Bound" functinality.

I'm not sure if it will convert a CATIA model into the MAX or MIN representation.

But on the other hand, how much time do you have? you could use knowledgeware, with rules set triggers so the model will use the max or min values. The trigger could be a string parameter with MIN, NOM and MAX that triggers rules to use corresponding values.
