Catia R19 - Bracket
Catia R19 - Bracket
(OP)
Hi,
How would you create (other than using Sheet Metal features) the bracket attached to this message?
I have a few ideas but I'd like to know your options as well.
Thanks

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
Use GSD, extract interior faces of the bracket then use thick surface (hope you have the right license).

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
I'd like to create a full parameterized Bracket, using no faces from the original Bracket.
The one that has been attached is just for reference.
Imagine that you go to an interview tube-test and get the Bracket attached as a reference.
You need to create your using the one given only as a visual model……….

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
Again GSD, but this time using sketches, fill, join, thick surfaces....problem is if you want to use part design it will be difficult to look like SMD at bending zones...

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
I want to use Part Design only.......

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
Here is the questions and points you shoud know before modelling
1) Get the DATUM-1 DATUM-2 DATUM-3 from the bracket and start desinging from them.
2) You must understand the whole purpose of bracket. To set up you model structure
3) You blank development shoud be simple anf be able to fit the standatd sheets available in the market
and many more......
If you do not have sheetmetal license, get the middle surface generated and thick and go from there.

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
I do not have any problem in creating a new part using the old one!
I was interested in building the new bracket, from scratch, using Part Design only.

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
How could I get the "middle surface generated"?
Where is it? GSD?
I am kind of new in Catia.......

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
when i say middle, I ment nutral axis. sorry for confusion (see this pic. ). this is imaginary line for calculations
This is just an idea how earlier genaration used to do on boards with drafters. Because you do not have sheetmetal license, this approach gives you a chance to calculate whole balmk developement.

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
There is an option like that (middle surface generated) in NX.
That's way I thought that Catia may have it as well.........
MZ7DYJ
RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
Here's one way. Probably not the best way but it gets it done.

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
I got the picture.
Very useful reply, thanks a lot.
I should have told you that the Bracket shouldn’t be 100% accurate.....
Your input is great, as always…….( NX este specialitatea mea).

RE: Catia R19 - Bracket
I have to admit that I try to avoid GSD. That;s because I can't handle this tfeature good enough......

You have very good skils!
Thanks Ferdo, I've learned something else today from you!

It's not quit sized correctly but it's all constrained in a fairly robust manner and should be easy to change to suit in minutes.
