Armored Vechile body part design in Catia V5
(OP)
I have some pictures of armored vechile body part. And my wish is make this in Catia V5. But in this picture i see many details. Ribs and stiffners have holders in vertical plates. Can i use part by part design and then assembly together or use some "easy way"? Please write me tips and tricks for this. Thanks.

For the rib work and stiffeners I would create them in a separate part body and then use a Trim Boolean function to add them to the main body.

If you will answer yourself to this questions (there are also others but depends on what is your intention) you can start the work doing something according to your intentions (something fast and simple or something complex but more correctly done, consuming more time).

4drewmumaw: right way, but my stiffeners have "holder" in vertical plates (see picture), i think is possible to use boolean to make stiffeners on the right way. Show me here (illustrate) please, with pic, my case of some stiffeners with holders. Thanks.

I'm more than happy to point you in the right direction and recommend a modelling strategy, but I'm not going to model it for you unless I'm getting paid to do so.

if they don't i would ask question about who will use my model and why... most of the choice I will use during modeling will affect downstream usage of the data. That being said you could understand why I will not give my 2 cent on the best way to model this.
I would just suggest you check with your company if it is ok to upload picture of their part on internet. I was (let say) surprised to see a picture or what you called armored vehicle part, if it is link with military project you should really check what you can share...

Other elements is simply to create with planes, translate command,rotate by axis, Mirror, and Pad.
Part is symmetric, and left vertical and right vertical side is symetric.
Thanks for all for help.
