Catia: Part design +Drafting

Catia: Part design +Drafting

Catia: Part design +Drafting

(OP)
Hello,

*I'm a beginner with catia v5. I would like to draw in part design a cylinder which is deformed,
but I didn't manage to do it.I thought about a revolution however It doesn't work.
A schematic drawing of the cylinder is given below.

* Anybody knows how to display the unit of a dimensioning in a drawing?
Thank you in advance for your help

RE: Catia: Part design +Drafting

Not much detail in the attached picture, so here's one way to make a part like that:

Using the Part Design workbench:
1. make a sketch of the centerline (spline) of the curved cylinder
2. at one end of the centerline, add a plane normal to the curve and then make a sketch of the end of the cylinder.
3. Use the RIB command to sweep the end sketch along the centerline sketch to make your cylinder.

* Anybody knows how to display the unit of a dimensioning in a drawing?

In CATIA V5, drawing dimensions are not based on the working units (Tools + Options) of the part or drawing. Dimensions are based on the "description" which defines how dimensions are displayed on a drawing.

There are two things that affect dimensions units on a drawing:

1. Use FILE + Page Setup to choose a Drafting Standard. (use ANSI or ASME for inch dimensions; use JIS or ISO for millimeter dimensions)

2. To change the way dimensions are displayed, have your system administrator create a company standard and set that as the default. Otherwise, change the dimension's description to NUM.DINC (inch) or NUM.DIMM (millimeter).

Thank you, it works great

RE: Catia: Part design +Drafting

Just cut the end with additional plane normal to the center line....

RE: Catia: Part design +Drafting

make sure the sketch plane (the plane used to make the profile sketch) is perpendicular to the center curve. The RIB should make a cylinder with square ends.

also, make sure you are using the KEEP ANGLE option for profile control
