Reusing design features

Reusing design features

Reusing design features

(OP)
Using Catia V5 I regularly create designs that incorporate components in a product requiring a repeatable set of features in an interfacing component.
I thought of using power copies to accommodate this but the power copies would be pretty complex: some having several pockets & holes and others pads & holes.
Additionally, some way of making a pattern of these features would be good.

What is the best way to capture this corporate knowledge (as the Dassault blurb puts it)?
What sort of course(s) should I take to learn how to do this?

RE: Reusing design features

There would be 2 for this subject.
Product Knowledge Template (PKT) - Create user defined features and templates.

Knowledge Advisor (KWA). - create rules, reactions and checks.

Regards,
Derek

RE: Reusing design features

PKT is supposedly quite expensive. and you also need KT1 for every computer that wants to use it (that one is much cheaper though).
